Nothing exotic, just an extra receptacle & some Furutech Gold.

I will be sure to report back after I've been on the Buss for a while  :D.

Great!

I'm expecting history to repeat itself.   :)

I can build any type of custom configuration desired as long as the configuration is one that meets safety and sanity requirements.  I can certainly build a unit that houses three independent 20A circuits.  No problem.  That is the beauty of the Uber Concept is its' adaptability.

Thank you for the reply. Are any (all?) of the receptacles in the standard ÜberBUSS isolated from each other? That is if one ÜberBUSS were to be used for some digital and some analog equipment can the digital   possibly contaminate the analog? Also I am of course interested in price and your recommendation as to power cords (none are supplied I gather). So phoning (to discuss options) or e-mail may be the best way to proceed from here if I decide upon your Über units (or a custom variation). The positive comments on this forum are very compelling. (Also, thanks to jtwrace for the link about the Mutha (sp?). I is seems very nice.)

When it comes the BUSS family, history does have a tendency to repeat itself time and time and time again. My audition of the Majik lead to a pruchase which led to buying Jason's Uber when he went for the Mutha. Now I have the Uber in my system and my HDTV plugged into the Majik and I am a very happy camper times 2 :thumb:

I'll let Dave answer the specific technical questions as he knows best. 

You're welcome on the link.

Now you need to purchase my Mutha.   :lol:  Then I can have Dave build Rev.B. 

Ok.  Ok.  I'm crazy!

WOW!!!  Sorry I haven't responded before now, but I haven't been getting notifications of posts from here and my world has been a madhouse this week with 4 grandchildren in residence while their parents were cavorting in Chicago.

There are 2 isolated circuits in a standard UberBUSS, 'A' and 'B'.  Tney have isolation between them to keep digital (or whatever) from backing up into the other circuit.  That is one of the strengths of the Uber.  The others are the absolute silence of the background and the enhanced dynamics, both macro and micro.

Power cables are a whole other topic.  It depends on what you are trying to do with your system.  Many people have had great success with the Electra Cable power cords from GR Research.  DH Labs makes some good ones.  I'm in the process of introducing a revised line of power cables, too.

Shoot me a PM and I'll give you my email address so we can continue the discussion.  I offer several upgrades and grounding options.  I try to tailor the units to my clients' systems.  There is no such thing as one size fits all.

Thanks for the questions.

Dave

Hi Dave, Dany and all.
Just want to share with all of you my satisfaction with my Majik Buss
from Dave that I bought from Danny at 595 USD five years ago
with other GR Research stuff.
First, I must say that I don't have a dedicated wall outlet.
The outlet is 230V/15Amps.
I have a Vietnamese power auto transformer/stabilizer that is rated at 2KVA
and it got 120 and 230V. outputs.
(The make is: Robot)
(Input voltage can vary from 160V to 250V.)
All the items listed below are connect directly to the Majik Buss
and some are connected via one power strip.
The Majik Buss is connected to the 120V. stabilized output from the Robot
and everything out of the Majik Buss is on 120V.
One exception is my Rega P3 turntable that is 230V.
and is connected directly to the Robot 230V. outlet.

Bellari VP129 Phono stage.
Decware SE84C+ SET amplifier.
Bottlehead Crack headphone amplifier.
Rega Apollo CD player.
Two (02) GR Research SA-1 250W. ss plate amplifiers
I even have a small ring type fluorescent light
and some low wattage ambiance lamps.
All those noisy items are on my Majik Buss.
And I almost forgot to mention,
the Robot auto transformer stabilizer can produce some noise
from it's electronic PCB when voltage fluctuate.
I've never listen to my system without the Majik Buss
therefore I don't know what my system would sound like without it.
I would suspect that I would not be as good sounding as it is now.
Just wanted to share with you
and let you know that Dave and Danny are good guys,
of course there are other good guys on AC,
but for this post I mention them,
other posts I will mention other guys.
Thanks.

Guy 13

Guy,

Thank you for the great review... Especially considering that it is of the original Majik.  Things have changed significantly since then for greater performance.

Hi Dave.
Difficult for me to imagine something better that what I got now,
but if you say so, I believe you.

Just refining the breed, Guy.  True, though  :thumb:
