Since the thread was whether a BAT amp would suffer if using a Cyclops it seemed relevant, but I will gather up the background info and post it in the Shunyata forum.

However, I am sure that Victor does not know how the Cyclops was designed and whether it restricts current or not. I do know, since I designed it. Now the question has moved on to a question of how much a Cyclops does or doesn't restrict current. We can have that discussion on the Shunyata forum since it is not about Victor's opinion, my opinion or any BAT to Shunyata specific interaction. It is easy to make a claim that a product doesn't "restrict current". That claim is made constantly by many manufacturers. However, technically, ALL devices including power line wire restrict current to some degree. Now the only question is - how much and is it relevant to the operation of the equipment that it is attached to it. cg |

That is all fair. My initial reaction was caused by the mention of particular currents - 10A for two channels, which to me implied some current limitation of Cyclops. Some conditioners have limitations on their outputs, so since I was not familiar with that particular product, I made that assumption.
Apparently the Cyclops is different, so I apologize for any confusion this might have caused. It is still true that only listening test can answer the question whether a particular device might improve or constrict the sound, and even though I personally believe in direct connection, there are people who feel strongly otherwise. |
