A $250 Power Conditioner?
deep_333, I totally agree with what facten has stated in his reply to your posting. That is, there is probably different levels/strengths and/or technologies that separate the different units. Try a Puron and then compare it to your iFi unit. o...

jayctoy, Try plugging the Puron directly into the wall outlet that your system (TV) is plugged into. Your power strip may be doing some filtering. ozzy  
Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K
I know this is more than you want to spend, but my Clarisys Planars do Rock & Roll pretty well! ozzy  
A $250 Power Conditioner?
questforhifi, I owned the SR Galilo SX power cord for a while, and I thought it was too aggressive in the high mid/treble region.  ozzy  
MICHI 8 Amp(s)
Yes, evidently one did. Visually you cannot detect anything amiss. The problem must be internal.  When you look at these cables the positive (Red) is at one end and directly at the other end is the ground wire (black). So, these cables internally... 
MICHI 8 Amp(s)
The other day I had a speaker cable short and instead of the Michi 8 blowing the fuse, the Michi 8 shut down. After the culprit was removed the unit came back online. Marvelous protection circuitry! ozzy

questforhifi, I’m not knowledgeable how it is constructed, but it DOES improve the audio and video. And isn’t that what this forum and hobby is about, to share info? You probably should actually try one and then comment. There is a money back gu... 
Eliminated my preamp with amazing results
When I purchased my Lumin X1 a few years back, I started going direct to my mono blocks. And I totally agree, once I experienced music without the preamp in the chain I could never go back. ozzy  
MICHI 8 Amp(s)
j-wall, I will do my best. Remember though, this is with my equipment, my room, my choice of music and my ears. The Pass Labs amps were ok but to me sounded a little too closed in, especially on the top end. The Atmasphere amps were ok but lacke...

Thanks. I suppose with all equipment it depends upon the other pieces within the system. Horn type speakers can be tough. ozzy  
Speaker Spikes - Working Principle
I don't know if this qualifies as a speaker spike, but I found that using the ISO- Acoustics Gaia 1's under my Clarisys speakers to be a big improvement over just using the aluminum feet. I also added the carpet spikes under the Gaia's and found t... 
MICHI 8 Amp(s)
Thanks! You know if the fans have come on, I have never heard them. The unit runs pretty cool to the touch. One of the front screen menus on the unit is a temperature reading. Once it warms up and has played for some time the temperature reaches ... 
MICHI 8 Amp(s)
First off, Happy New Year to all! It’s funny, about 10+ years ago I thought I should start downsizing the weight of my equipment for possible future age-related limitations. I started using tube amp(s) and monitor/sub speakers. Fast forward to t...
