I am running my cd player, preamp and monoblock amps directly into outlet on a dedicated line with Lowes hospital grade outlets. I currently have no form of power conditioning and am generally very happy with the sound but hoping to find a way to not screw up dynamics while lowering the noise floor. Any suggestions are appreciated.
It doesn't sound like you need anything, really. If you don't hear anything between songs but hear the "sound of silence" within a song, then it must be in the recording. Enjoy.
....An alternative, if you're handy and place minimal value on your own time, would be build your own low material cost Felix conditioner ...FWIW,Paul
Stop your CD player and listen. If you can't hear anything from your listening position, then your system is probably fine. IME, conditioners and the like always take away HF extension and dynamics, and may not even correct the original problem. IMHO it is always better to use less equipment in the chain.
It could be that any form of digital reproduction is inherently more influenced by the vagaries of AC power than analog playback. Only when you can supply the digital device with very clean power will it play to maximum potential and all traces of digititus will disappear. Some cases in point would be Red Wine Audio's battery powered amps and the Dodd battery preamp.-Roy
