SOtM UltraNeo in da House!
My SOtM UltaNeo arrived today! :D
It didn't come with a wall-wart PS, and my Keces P3 is still on-order, but it turns out the el cheapo wall wart for my KyroBak is 12V/3 amps, which matches the powering requirements for 12V UltraNeo just fine. So....I just set it up a short while ago, and have started streaming music to it via Roon to start the burn-in process... I put my home-made JSGSS (John Swenson Ground Shunt Strap) on the DC barrel plug to shunt high-impedance leakage currents from the wall-wart (which I presume to be a SMPS) to ground....be d*mned, HILCs! :p http://photos.imageevent.com/puma_ca...0Desco%202.jpg http://photos.imageevent.com/puma_ca...SOtM%202_1.jpg http://photos.imageevent.com/puma_ca...SOtM%201_1.jpg Cold, out of the box, powered a cheap-*ss wall-wart PS I had lying about the house, it flat smokes the microRendu. :music: I can only imagine what it will sound like when I move the Uptone LPS-1 UltraCap over to power the OpticalModule, when I get my incoming GhentAudio JSSG DC cables & the Keces LPS on it, and it burns in...:scratch2: :thumbsup: :D More later, stay tuned.... |
Great news, and to start off like you did will allow it time to settle and see the difference as you add piece by piece.

Do you have the 5/7/9V and 12V/15V/16V units in stock? Urg...I don't know if I can cancel my order with Power Holdings; they have a "virtually no returns policy", but I will call them tomorrow. Maybe they'll let me cancel and issue a refund as they have not shipped mine yet. I'll let you know tomorrow. When did you start carrying this line of products? Thanks for the heads up! -Stephen |

I’m using the Keces balanced isolation power conditioner. Good stuff. I wrote a review on it here on AA. Besides being a tremendous value power conditioner, I love how it protects against brownouts. Happened twice in one day recently in fact. Fortunately I have not had to rely on it for a spike/surge yet but I’m sure it would protect as advertised. :thumbsup: No doubt Keces builds superb linear power supplies as well. It’s a huge Taiwanese company by the way and they supply toroidal transformers to many in the audio and other industries... :smoking:

I've also ordered the (new) Uptone Audio LPS-1.2, which supports 5, 7, 9, and 12V output, and there's gonna be shootout in Tombstone. The Uptone has an advantage in that will absolutely not pass any low-impedance or high-impedance AC leakage currents down the DC power cable into whatever it is powering. I don't know about the Keces with respect to this. I've also got two GhentAudio Gotham JSSG DC power cables coming, and they will prevent that, too. |

Looking forward to your experimentation and impressions. :thumbsup: |
