Ipspam Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Yes, but no. I don't consider "balanced power", aka "floating power“ to be a " power conditioner". My power amp and pre-amp go through an "exact power sp15a" balanced power "device". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC-93 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Find a small portable am radio. Tune it lower on the dial between stations. Walk around your gear, moving the radio around and it'll show you the spots that have interferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the old US freq which is almost down to DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Gallup Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) Not sure this is biggest improvement in my system ever, but it was certainly the easiest and cheapest: I moved my listening chair back about two feet from one vertex of the previous equilateral triangle it formed with the Quatros. Got better imaging and maybe better bass, but definitely an improvement. My listening room is relatively small so I don't have a lot of latitude.

While I'm quite pleased with my system right now, occasionally, I find myself wishing the bass was a little tighter (at least, on some recordings). I'm at an equilateral triangle now & don't have much room to move the couch back, but I could bring the Quatros together a bit more. The left speaker is real close to a side wall.

Play on Best way to tighten the bass is to lower the "Contour" slightly. When any system is optimized one of the clues is the desire to tighten some recording and loosen some others! This is the way recordings are because the engineers have different tastes. Go back to your five reference recordings and affirm the system is still in tune.
