well, when you have high end equipment, I can understand buying stuff like what’s being discussed. but at the same time, because it’s niche and / or coming from premium brands, it can be / will be overpriced in most cases.
I want to know more about how they’re solutions are different from what other vendors offer for industrial applications and perhaps better or much better prices.
not bad as cables…but we have to always be wary of snake oil.
I mean though as polygon notes the ps audio is a regenerator not a conditioner, so not exactly apples to apples, if I was just looking for a conditioner I would have gone with some of the other solutions that are better bang for the buck (like personally I wouldn’t buy the ifi as it’s more a conditioner and as you say you could get more for your money elsewhere)
Uninteruptible Power Suply. Used in the Server and PC worId.
It’s a battery that you plug into the wall and the computer/server into it.
It’s purpose is that if there are power cuts, you have time to save your work. Also, it works as a overcurrent/undercurrent protection.
Regarding audio, theoretically, a battery should provide the “cleanest” sound, so, I do not understand why people keep buying power conditioners and power plants when a simple UPS could be cheaper and provide the same functionality, or even more.
Are you sure that your phone interference is not due to the radio signal of the phone?
When does the noise show up? when you get close to your equipment? when you plug it in to charge?
It could also be explained by actual testing lol, I have already tried blind tests and you can tell the difference on a high end setup. I actually got to hear the difference when I went to ps audio and I got to demo it first hand. I’m not telling people that it’s better for them, it just worked for me.
I am not sure what causes it within the phone, but when unplugged and comming into 2 feet distance of the power outlet, I get a humming sound.
But if it is the radio signal, does an UPS help with that?
Hey I use mogami gold in my studio, it’s a great choice for the price, solid and robust and no need to go higher there. Also again if you go to some studios you see them using the same high end stuff people have at homes, on that note I do know that some studios use powerplants in there too lol. Once you get to the mastering stage you would be surprised how much cross over there is for pro and hifi products. Audio engineers are just professional audiophiles
I have UPS’ in my system, but not to clean power.
They’re generally decent surge protectors, but looking at the output of mine they don’t regenerate anything unless the power fails. And you have to spend the additional money on the “pure sine wave” variants for a decent output off the battery.
They’re designed to keep your equipment running if there is an outage, not clean your power.
I have 2 UPS’ in my office, one of which is “pure sine wave” and neither puts out particularly clean sine waves if you yank the plug out of the wall.
I wrote to APC customer service and asked if their products was sending the current through the battery, during normal usage when there is no power surge.
As I understand their reply they don’t, the current is not going through the battery and you don’t get that benefit of more clean power due to the battery in the UPS.
