The Reference Power Cables are selling out fast....hurry up only a few left. The same goes for the Reference One, PE V S/AC, and V IEC filters.

This offer is only good for AudioCircle members. We were going to wait, but I decided to cut the price in half in order to get some feedback. The new Reference IC offers excellent bang for the buck performance. For a limited time only the Reference IC will be priced at $125 ($250 list). The Reference IC is a all copper design, shielded, true balanced XLR design, and PRT treated. Please email for more information. RCA version (TBA).

Alan,

I just ordered an RPC. I sent you an email and the funds through PayPal.

Thanks,

Gene

Gene

Thank-you. The RPC is a bulk purchase at the sale price and will be available August 1. The case is on backorder from the vendor and is expected by July 28. Once received our turn around is 2 business days.

WOW!!! Thank-you.....this weekend sale was a huge success. I will try to offer more of these types of sales in the future. Thanks again.

We will start accepting pre-orders for the July 28 - Aug 2 on July 26. This past weekend orders will take me up to early next week and after that I'm going on vacation for a couple of weeks. It's best to hold the pre-orders off until I come home on the 26th.

The PE is a parallel capacitor filter and the Ref One is a magnetic filter that utilizes the earth ground for additional filtering. The two designs work extremely well together.

Received my two Ref One filters that I ordered today, thank you!

Does the Ref One shunt noise to ground or clean it up? How many per circuit are good to use, etc? Is there a break-in period like the PE series?

If I can think of anything else, I'll be sure to let you know.

Also, should we start a new Thread for all other Alan Maher Design's products like the Reference One?

Clean it up.

alanmaher · « **Reply #767 on:** 7 Jul 2008, 11:08 pm »

Sorry...I didn't realize Jen was logged on using this pc.

The Reference One uses the earth ground to charge the field, but it's the field that cleans the a/c....it's a little different from the PE design.

One per circuit is usually good.

The circuit usually needs 3 or 4 days to adjust. I usually hear positive things after the first hour. Pay attention to the bass quality and the attack of a note.

A new tread would be nice. It gives me more to link too.

I'm surprised that you are not listed under Audio Manufacturer's since you have a line of products. Maybe, an email to the Administrator is in order. Otherwise, I or someone can start another thread on at least the Reference One in the next couple of days? Sounds good to me!

zmanbands · « **Reply #769 on:** 8 Jul 2008, 01:06 am »

What is the benefit of a new thread? I don't like the idea. Now everything is in the same place.

Jim N. · « **Reply #770 on:** 8 Jul 2008, 06:45 am »

Received the PE V S/AC today. Will have to experiment with it during the week.

alanmaher · « **Reply #771 on:** 8 Jul 2008, 09:39 am »

Alright....so lets take a vote....all in favor of a new tread ??? All not in favor ??? Voice your opinion. I don't care either way...whatever is easier.

Here is my experience with Ref. One filter:

I have 2 Ref. One filters. They first installed in the same circuit with PE V Pro/Custom. Bass was great but not the way i wanted. Also, it reduced the high , IMO.

Then, i took one off and installed at IEC of PLC at the video circuit (Same phase with Audio circuit), and moved 193L to the family room ( different circuit and phase).

Now, Bass is deep, punchy. High and mid are more defined and smooth. In general, the sound is very musical to my ears. I think this setup will stay for a long time

Not meaning to start any trouble here but the name of this Thread is Alan Maher's Power Enhancer. Not Alan Maher's Reference One Filter nor Alan Maher's Power Products, etc. I could care less what we do but I'm pretty sure this is against administration policies and I was trying to point out the fact that it might be better to have a Thread per product so the newbies wouldn't have to wade through so many pages to try and find what one particular product is all about.

Started to listen to the Reference one in the chain of PE's, two hours after first install. During the first 25-30 seconds, I thought that the system was somehow wired out-of-phase. Quickly, I determined that this wasn't the case and that the soundstage had moved further into the living room and away from the loudspeakers. The whole time I sat there thinking that Alan was a genius and how does he do it?! If you use his PE series of Power Enhancer products, you would be justified into purchasing the Reference One because they do work in tandem with one another. What I'm hearing from the get go is smother highs and everything seems tighter and easier to listen to over a longer period and this is with just one Reference filter! The other is plugged in on another circuit. I played several rather bright sounding cd's that are pretty unlistenable and I can report that they are now listenable by a large margin. I can't wait until day 3 & 4! Although I haven't tried it, I would bet that folks with MP3's would benefit greatly because of the compressed sound. I was sitting there a few minutes before starting my system up wondering how it could get any better and indeed it has. It is amazing how the a/c power can have the influence that it does on what you are hearing. Like I've stated other times in this Thread, I've tried many power products over the years and have never had my system sounding the way that it does now. Order at least one of these devices now or you'll never know what you are missing!!

Hey Alan?? Have you thought of designing a device that combined the PE & Ref One that one could use in their automobile plugged into the cigarette lighter? I would be interested!

Edit: Oops! Changed first sentence of first paragraph to correctly read "after first install" instead of "two hours after listening".

Hi,
I was just wondering how these filters affect computer? The reason I'm asking because i eventually use external DAC to be used with my computer for music while i'm working

I should have tried myself and i will. Just want to see if anyone has tried it and your opinions.

thanks.

You guys all know I use a upscale HTPC as my reference system and the filters work great....try it.

The car is not a bad idea....maybe it will be my next project after I finish the computer line.

As for the Ref One....3, 4, and 5 installed also increase the overall performance.

What?! I'm already running out of outlets from my outlets!

How about an all-in-one product?

alanmaher · « **Reply #779 on:** 8 Jul 2008, 10:03 pm »

I wish...but it just doesn't work that way. The best I can offer is the Pro Custom.
