Imagine a photo you’ve taken of a landscape blanketed in a light fog. From your view, objects’ colors are more and more desaturated the farther they sit from the lens, the deeper they sit within the image. The edges are softer, details are blurred, and the image depth is flattened somewhat. And, while our favorite components are often well-designed, and with particular focus around the power supply circuits, this noise remains. It colors what we hear through our loudspeakers and headphones. By removing the fog, we reveal the objects in their full color; their shapes stand out in bold relief, and image depth and scale expand. This, combined with the decompression of the overall image and the PQ-707’s ability to deliver additional current on demand, makes for a more engaging experience. Timing is everything. Music, like humans, only exists in time. To recreate (or approximate) the flow of any one performance, our systems require clean, stable power. To my ears, this heightened dynamic expression is the most remarkable and desirable result of installing a product like this in my system. It is not only about the big swings; it’s the smallest transients that bring music reproduction to life. The PowerQuest 707 (or perhaps another here that better meets your needs) should be on your list for audition.
