I'm looking forward to joining the Pi Audio family with my first Uber! John
John, like I said, this was one of the first "new gen" Ubers. It is short on receptacles, but long on SQ. Enjoy!
What does it take to update an old Uber to a new Uber?
I can only imagine you're in for a real treat John. I've got the mini and it pretty much schocked me. I'l lbe hearing a system with a Uber soon for the first time as my buddy has one coming .Enjoy !!-jay
Thanks guys, what a warm welcome! I'm truly looking forward to the Uber. I'm coming from a PS Audio Powerplant Premier that died. And it sounded better once I removed it from the system (more dynamic)...of course I hadn't had it out of the system for years so who knew? That said, I've always wanted a Pi Audio buss but couldn't ever pull the trigger since I had the PS Audio regenerator.I have two options for setup. The first is to just run my main amp (Pass Labs XA-30.5) directly from the Uber hardwire. The second is to run the Uber hardwire into a BPT Pure Power Center power strip that I have (a basic model, no frills) and run my amp, DAC, and pre-amp (Auralic Vega and Auralic Taurus Pre) on the same unit. The second option is my first choice but I figured I'd ask folk's opinion? Thanks,John
John, go with #2. Getting everything on the BUSS is a good idea. I would advise that you try pulling each device one at a time and running it straight into the wall. This way you can determine the optimum setup. I would imagine that the best results will come from being totally Uberized, though.Please report back with your findings.Enjoy
In need of three - two outlet conditioners or regenerators . Can PI fufill my needs ? One for a solid state preamp and dac . The other two would be for a pair of mono block Hypex ncore and a pair of electro stat speakers
Sounds like the UberPlusMini is working great for EarlyB !!
I'd think getting everything on the Uber would be the way to go as well. I am not famaliar with the BPT Pure Power Center but if you are concerned about having it in the system, you could always think about adding a mini buss for distribution somewhere down the road. Sounds like the UberPlusMini is working great for EarlyB !!-jay
Inferno -- I used to own the BPT Pure Power Center. I think it will work fine for your application, but you'll probably benefit by eventually replacing it with a MiniBUSS.
Jay and Early B,Thanks...that is a great idea (but good to know the BPT will work for a while). As you can see, both my DAC and Pre Amp have transformer based LPS, so they should do well with the Uber (as I understand it from my readings).
