I've worked for years with a Hydra-Conditioner at a Hifishop and I think it belongs to the best of its kind. Not adding any harsh, disharmonics or intensive twist of phase. I suspect that for having to deal with all these polluted hotel-powerlines it's better than none.
@Gentlemen
Yes I do offer these modifikations and more. It's my business, but don't want to do advertising in a forum as I suppose it is not that, what the members here want to read.
Though I can give you the hint that we are "conditioning" the D's (and other equipment) directly on the circuits components. We have invented a special technique to minimize the electromagnetical effect (eSmog) of circuit components onto eachother and further conditioning these areas with a "beneficial information" (whatever that means . That provides optimized areasettings for the components and therefor they are working nearly as it was theoretical designed in the development-software. In result it is a more natural, genuine sound, that reveals even more of the sound our D's should sound like, if they were designed as an audiophile- and not lifestyle-product. I personaly think that the circuitboard-design is ingenious but the wrapping is the commercial downgrade. Allthough I like the looks they could have done a better job, i.e. no chrome-body but polishing/sealing it, better speakerposts and IEC...(how can I get back to topic now?)
Our empirical knowledge is that a modified D200 outperforms an original D250 with ease. It's kind of "...no way". On the other hand if the D250 is modified too the known distinction between the two is restored. I'm still confused how they add this sweetness, tender resolution/transparency to the D250 despite the D200/250 being circuitboardwise the same. I suspect they do it with some additional filter in the software that weakens the D200/D120 and/or with the inner surface of the D250 being painted black. I suspect this black paint being a shielding lacquer that protects the circuitboard to some amount from the bad chrome-nickel-el.mag.-effects of the whole surface.
So to say, it's easy to get a D800 outperform a Od'A when modified. Though this is my personal judgement reasoned for the D200/D250 tuning (was that back on topic :-)
@Gentlemen
You can PM me on further information. If you live in Germany or near by it is possibly to hear/compare a modified Devi if you like to.
