Post Subject: Gettin' a Good'unPosted by Paul S on: 6/1/2009

Adrian, the more I read on the subject, the more it looks like the "universal" approach to solving power problems is a notion only consumers would swallow.

As for "the difference in the power supply design" between your amps and Romy's making a difference, I agree; but at the same time, remember that Romy fought and clawed his way through 1/2 dozen units or so before winding up with what now appears to be - effectively - a custom-tailored piece, eg., in effect, it's probably a ringer.

Dim bulb that I am, I have just recently started to wonder if maybe one needs to know something particular about one's power problems and one's equipment, alike, in order to stand a fair chance of solving one's own particular BEP with given equipment.

Conversely, does the wide variety of problems one encounters with BEP combine with the various electrical matrices possible with a whole hi-fi system make for problems that are just plain hard to predict, prepare for or effectively deal with in one sell-able unit?

Well, if we need to know more to get the BEP solved with the gear that we actually have, what do we need to know?

Why doesn't someone who knows address the salient issues in plain talk from and for the point of view of a totally neurotic, OCD hi-fi nut (eg, moi)?

I would not mind a little assisted DIY in order to get something like a BEP corrector that actually worked for moi.

Hey, I want a ringer, too!
