Come on, Anthony, you need to “clean your room” as Peterson
say before you move forward. Variac is notoriously bad for sound, at least 3
types that I tried were horrible. I do not see why Placette cannot run from
220V, confirm it with Guy. Both line stage circuits AND the adopter that powers
the switches circuit MUST be plug into good quality of power source. The adopter
that powers the switches in my view much be replaced each 3-4 years and they
get weaker for some reasons. Each time I updated my adopter I got better sound,
do not ask me why as they should be affecting sound at all. Be advised that I
still at suspicion of what you do as I personally do not feel that your DAC can
stress Placette into being not transparent. I owned some nice gear and I
NEVER was able to recognize Placette as being less transparent element in
chain. I do not insist that I am right and I understand that I should not never say
never but from what I have done personally I feel that Placette is quite
unique in term of bypassing performance.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
