Thank you, Dave.Good to know part of the majik is in preventing backwash. I always suspected that part of the digital sound was an artifact of backwash. Same thing with digital amps it would seem.Any plans for a smaller unit meant to be used by, say, one or a pair of amps? Just curious. Might be some demand for such a product. Phil

Dave,You really should consider permanent inclusion of an outlet tester hardwired into your MajicBuss.I believe we come with very different perspecitives. You are from the Studio side where you assume your customers are competent and knowledgeable. I come from the Medical Electronics side and teach an occasional course in power quality to senior undergraduate EE students, so naturally assume every user (and their 'electrician') an idiot.The applicable standards from ANSI, IEC, UL, CSA, etc... are that any conditioning/surge/extention appliance will not materially increase the danger from a device it feeds, that is functioning normally, plugged into it under single and dual fault conditions. FWIW,Paul
Let me add a little to what Danny has said. I like analogies, so here is one:Powering a system is a lot like getting water from a well. In that well with the water are bugs, rodents, bacteria, rocks, dirts... all the kinds of things that make me a poor camper. I hate 'em. I need the water, but I DO NOT want any of the aforementioned. So, what do I do? I build a series of traps and filters that take all of the bacteria, roaches and dirt out and create a maze that the stupid rats can't get through. That is what is going on with passive power components like power cords, CorComs, ferrite beads, my filters and on and on. Some of these devices just work better than others.In audio, whether we like it or not, everything effects everything else. The quest towards superior reproduction is a trail that has many twists and turns. I have about a gig of notes that I have compiled over the years from experiments performed that includes all of the successes and failures. A few years ago it became very clear to me that audio reproduction, just like everything else, has to be built upon a firm foundation or the whole structure is weak. Ergo - my power treatment products.You just have to be smarter than the rat.Dave
I got one of the new Uber Buss a few days ago. I had 3 Classe 400/wpc Monoblocks and a 70" HDTV plugged into a Majik Buss. They are now plugged into the Uber Buss. Nothing else was changed.I played a few CDs that I am very familiar with, and was very impressed with the change that the Uber Buss provided. The soundstage got wider and deep, the instruments had even better separation. The bass is better defined, and there a bit more detail in the mids and highs. I then switched over and played some vinyl. The result was the same. There was lots of toe tapping going on. The overall presentation was more dymanic and true to life.In short, the Uber Buss provides the same improvements as the Majik Buss, but to a greater degree. The Majik Buss is a fantastic enhancement, and the Uber Buss even more so. Well, Norah Jones is singing here in my living room so I'm going to sign-out. I will post more after I have more hours on the Uber Buss. Ok, she's not right here in person, but it sure sounds like it.
I have more Majik Buss's on the way so if you want to get one of these next 6 units that are coming then let me know as soon as possible.
