Thinking about this power conditioner. Looks interesting, Anyone have any feedback. Looking for something that's good for voltage drops and surges.
 
John,

I believe Jeff A/V Solutions is a dealer and have used it, hope he'll chime in..

I own the Audience AR12TSS and love it. Wrote an extensive review on Audiogon. I will cut and paste it over here. We need to get John McDonald chief at Audience over here. Completely stand up guy who cares about music amd the customer. Just talked to him this week amd ended up buying a pair of their new The One speakers for my desktop.

Darrin,

Looks like you got one with the extra optional filter since your model has two S"s. I'm assuming you never got a chance to A/B it?

Hi, John. I wasn't able to A/B the TSS against standard version. I took John McDonald's advice, and listened to my ears on the TSS in my system and went for the TSS.

I need some help figuring out if the top of the line Audience conditioners are the same whether they have 6 or 12 outlets. Can you get all the upgrades in the 6 outlet version? I have a friend interested in one and I am looking at 3 or 4 conditioners including this one. Help!

I guess my question is do we have to get the 12 outlet version to get their best conditioner? Neither of us needs 12 outlets.

Thanks!

The standard, TS and TSS versions are available on all models......sound wise there the same in their selected version. ie the aR6TSS sounds the same as the aR12TSS with the exception of the 12 version having more outlets.....works the same for the standard and TS models also......make sense?

Thanks Jeff. Makes sense! We will talk about these.
 
I have one of these in my home theater and it does a wonderful job, but my power is relatively clean there. If you live in a city or an apartment where the power is dirty everywhere you will need more that a re-conditioner. The PS Audio Powerplant is the best there is. It rebuilds the power from your outlet by converting it to DC and then back to AC and removing the noise in the process. No component or connector makes more of a difference in getting good sound out of your system then this one.
 
Jeff, I am using an aR2TSS to power my PS Audio uninterrupted power pack which has 6 outlets. I then attach my components to that and use the second outlet on my audience R2TSS for my 5.1 channel amplifier because its a power hog. When I first thought about doing this I was concerned that the aR2TSS did not have the power for all of those components, but it seems to be working fine so far. Are other people having the same positive experience? It sure seems like I've saved a lot of money by using the aR2TSS instead of the aR6TSS and there doesn't seem to be any downside. I even save on the extra power cord because the aR2TSS plugs directly into the outlet. Not that it makes a big difference, but I do have a power port classic outlet and it is a direct line so I'm not using the $2 Home Depot outlet on a line that is powering lights and other things on its way to my home theater from the electrical panel in the basement.

Donald.....You should be fine but here are a few things to know, first the Audience conditioners isolate each and every receptacle not just the outlet itself so the way your doing it doesn't give you the isolation as the aR6TSS, second thing is everything is going through the PSA piece and it will influence the end result good or bad to a degree IMO. Not saying what your doing is bad but I bet it has a different sonic flavor vs just the aR6TSS by itself.
