LAST UPDATE.
Last week I’ve added some AC-Power conditioning. Given the good synergy that can be seen in the forum with Naim electronics, my choice has finally been IsoTek EVO3 Sirius, a strip power bar which, as you know, protects and improves audio components by removing Common Mode and Differential Mode mains noise and by filtering RFI.
Although I guess, like anything that involves wiring, it requires some run in period, I still haven’t noticed a really huge improvement. As it settles, however, I do note a little more detail, a slight opening soundstage, a slightly more precise and focused bass and some more air among instruments; yes, a slightly more focused and coherent sound, but not a barbarity, which leads me to think that, fortunately, my area, and my power lines and mains, which are relatively new and of medium-high quality, sour few RFI and EMI problems, and that SQ was already very good at the start.
In any case, a slight leap forward in SQ and a good protection against lightning and voltage spikes that is always welcome given the increasing weather volatility and the Naim and, above all, the forum recommendation to maintain electronics permanently on (the truth is at first I miss a stand by function).
Finally, I have ordered a couple of 10 mm thick tempered glass templates, to locate them, isolated with the Isoacoustics Oreas, under the SN2 and the main sources, to check with my ears if the recommendation introduce another SQ leap forward in my system and configuration, although I must point out that it sounds already impressive, with that quality that you find hard to stop listening, turn it off and go do other things.
I’ll tell you when I can install and test them…
Anyway, greetings to the forum.
