Description

I listen to a large range of music incl jazz/vocals, opera, symphonies/classicals (western & chinese) and flamengco/acoustic guitars.

Happy for a while now but milking every last bit with ongoing tweaks to room and things that make the sound more fluid & organic (less hifi).

    These platforms help drop my noise floor without the downsides of using power conditioning ie. losing PRAT/being coloured.
    • Finite Elemente Signature Rack
    Sits on FE mid range feets - Cerapucs. Nice improvement.
    • Machina Dynamica Pebbles & Little Clock
    Pure voodoo but it works and takes my system from just high end to being one that is fluid, organic and musical.

Thanks for the response Boy_lah. I have actually ordered the unit from Chris of BPT and have been using it for almost 1 month now. Mine only has one Oyaide R-1 duplex and the Bybee. I find the unit to be good in removing background noise and a slight hardness in the upper registers.

Hi Boy_lah,

Do you have the Bybee Quantum purifiers as the upgrade option in your BPT PPC? Also, did you replace all stock Hubbell duplexes of the PPC to the Oyaide?
