Post Subject: Equi=Tech Review.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 6/3/2013

Indeed a good review. The author in my view spent too much time promoting the theoretical benefits of symstrick power. I do not degree with all those theoretical justifications and the very practical natural nose rejections of symmetric power but it has very little to do with practicality of good sound. From theoretical perspective we shall not be worry about HF noise at as any of our power transformer with metal cord is super-strong low pass filter that roll very steep at ~600Hz. It is not to mention that we use DC everywhere… The reality as we all know is different.

I do not like when people who write review recite the given to them manufactured infomercials. Why the author spent time and time to talk about the current inrush if he uses Tenor Amplifier that operates in class A and draw constant current? Also, all those stories about the super transformer (winded in China for Equi=Tech by Maryland Toroidals), 99.97 oxygen-free copper, F-18 hornet cockpit and , 30dB noise rejection at from 100kHz up to 2GHz and the rest crap…. is it all for kids.

I do question the sonic findings on the review. I did have 3 Equi=Tech units and my findings were different. For sure from the sonic description that Mike Makinovsky provides it looks like Equi=Tech works for him, the degree how it works still unknown. What I would do if I were him is to bring home my PP2000. I would be very interesting if he find the introduction of PP2000 into his Equi=Tech handed power supply will do any difference. The reasoning on my would be is very simple: if the Equi=Tech good sounding electricity then the introduction of my PP2000 would not change anything or will make sound worse, right? I bet that if Mike Makinovsky did try the PP2000 then he would recognize the differences and if the positive difference did exist then the question would be: can PP2000 do all job alone.

Equi=Tech, sells honestly and extend 30 days money back, at least they did in past. You might try them. A word of warning: all 3 Equi=Tech devised that I had sound drastically different from each other, I have no idea why.
