Anyone familiar with...

    Power Conditioners - Do they make a Difference (poll)

    Curious to test the waters and see how many have tried power conditioners and to post their experience with them. Poll above should be interesting. Any additional comments as to whether they made a positive or negative difference (or nothing) ?

    Audioquest Jitterbug - Any Success Stories Out There?

    Trying to decide whether to sell off my AQ Jitterbug - I can't hear that it's doing anything for my lower end DAC experience.

    My setup

    Due to space restrictions, it's not perfect but...it's better than nothing. Amplification is Audiolab 8000C preamp and 2x Audiolab 8000M monoblocs (originals made in UK, not the new stuff that's made in China or wherever). DAC is a 2 box DPA PDM 1 Series 3 unit. CD transport is a cheap DVD...
