Well, it has all changed again, I should just relist it as it has changed so many times since creating this as the "3rd" system. One thing is for sure, Ever Evolving has been accurate.
Awesome little digital tuner from the late 1980's.

This power conditioner and protection unit has made the biggest difference I have ever intruduced into a system; I wish I would have purchased something like this a long time ago!!!
Brian, I have 2 sets of the same treatments. They are superb at suppressing sound across the entire frequency range. They are also very sturdy. With proper care and maintenance these treatments should last as least 18 years, more if you are too careful. Congrats on getting the absolute best treatments available. They truly are priceless!
Hi Brian. I noticed you changed from 802d to the Wilsons. I also recently changed my 802d to something else, in my case the Usher BE-10, which have been compared to the Wilsons. I am curious what your thoughts are on the strengths of each speaker and the major differences between the two? For me, I found the beryllium tweeter of the Ushers to be faster, and more realistic to me, even though the Diamond tweeter is very smooth and nice sounding. I also preferred the bass of the Ushers over the BW, which could sound boomy to me. In contract the Ushers are very tight and controlled. The midrange is where I am a bit more conflicted. The Usher beryllium mid is uncolored, neutral, crystal clear, and dynamic. I can imagine with the wrong electronics they can sound a wee bit cool and clinical. In may case, the paired them with a Cary 306 cdp, Pass Labs XA160 amp, and Classe cp-700 pre. All of these components are known for being a bit warm, and very smooth. At times, I do miss the mids of the 802d, especially with female vocals. I really do think BW has done something right with their mids, voices sound so real, palpable, and full of emotion. Overall, I prefer my Ushers.
