I realize it’s hard to discuss the importance of power management–so many audiophiles I know use nothing at all and they’re perfectly happy. But once you experience your hi-fi through a balanced power system, it’s very hard to return to the way things once were. (That goes for adequate grounding as well.) The Equi=Tech made that painfully aware once I took it out of the system. Can I survive with my normal complement of earthing devices and noise suppression and power conditioning? I can, but with one caveat: the Equi=Tech seemed to supplant many of those products in one box. I can describe that as downright economical, in fact. The comparisons between the Model 2RQ and nothing at all, however, were shockingly obvious, more than any other single power management device I’ve used in the past.

It’s rather industrial looking, downright utilitarian, especially when compared to other power management devices that are built to look like $50K power amplifiers, but that suggests the seriousness of this product and that it’s manufactured for people who know when something works and when it’s not pulling its own weight. (Besides, I still put my power management products behind the rack, so who cares.) My conclusion is that I’ve yet to try another power management product that gets the job done in such a convincing manner. Plus, it’s not ridiculously priced compared to some of the high-end competition out there.

Thanks, Doug, for introducing me to Equi=Tech. Highly recommended.
