So, rooting around and discussing such things in person with Dave at MCRU has got me looking at solutions such as the Isotek solus and Aquarious.
Would love to hear peoples personal experience with such equipment before I go out and spend yet another large wad of money on such a controversial device.
I found Russ Andrews silencers and purifiers worked ok.
Currently run a PS Audio PPP which does make a nice difference
Can you plug all of your kit direct into unswitched sockets ?
If not that makes a great difference for not a lot of dough
Then there's special sockets that can also help, priced accordingly.
Don't know the Solus or the Aquarious
