Mains power and conditioning

[baddog]

I use my D440 Pro with a Silver Circle Audio Pure Power 5 power conditioner.

I have tried to use my system without it, and every time I take it out a I miss it, music sounds too trebly/bight/harsh/thin without it.

Most recent episode was my removing the D440 Pros from the power conditioner and plugging straight into the wall for the past week. Everything was ok, till Thursday when I played a number of records, and it wasn't the most pleasant experience, something just sounded not right, I thought it was because I had been playing around with VTA. Turns out I had forgotten my D440 was not going through the Silver Circle. Plugged it back in and all was right.

I know, not very scientific, etc, however this has occurred enough when I pull the Silver Circle from my system, and believe me I would like nothing better than not to need this 100 lb. box in my listening room. I wish it was gone, that it made no difference, I would gladly part with it. But seemingly it does make a difference in my system.

YMMV.
