CLARUS CONCERTO POWER CONDITIONER $3,699 REVIEW
January 29, 2020 Comments Off on CLARUS CONCERTO POWER CONDITIONER $3,699 REVIEW
“The point I want to make here is that high-end audio equipment will likely not have a lot of noise peaks because they already have noise-reducing circuitry. However, they may very well have some high-frequency noise that makes its way into the signal. The origin of this high-frequency noise is not known. It could be coming from anywhere in your home, including appliances, Wi-Fi router, etc. Everything these days seems to have Wi-Fi capability, so this noise can be in the megahertz range.
Removing high-frequency noise is a matter of your own priorities. If you want to maintain the purest signal possible, then adding a high-quality power conditioner is desirable. The Clarus Concerto is certainly of that category.”

“Bose Corporation, a leading manufacturer of headphones and other audio equipment announced that they will be closing HALF of their retail stores worldwide due to a dramatic increase in online purchases. Although founded in Massachusetts in 1964 by Amar Bose, the first retail store was opened in 1993 in Kittery Maine. Bose was founded on creating speaker systems which used multiple drivers aimed at the surrounding walls to reflect the sound to replicate the sound of a concert hall, it has diversified its products to include smaller portable speakers, earbuds, and the highly promoted and profitable sports, military, and consumer based sound cancelling over the ear headphones.”

Deep Core 1800 Power Conditioner

I’ve always experienced power line conditioning products to have a more noticeable effect on vacuum tube gear than solid-state, and the Deep Core offers the same result. Interestingly enough, regardless of circuit topology in the source component, the Deep Core had a more profound effect on lower priced gear, no doubt because these components do not have as sophisticated power supplies as those further up the range.
Proof for the snubbing effect took no more than powering up my vintage Dynaco Stereo 70, which always makes a nasty click through the speakers. Via the Deep Core, tweeter destroying clicks are a thing of the past. My mid 80s vintage Linn LP-12 is guilty of the same offense. Again, its crimes pardoned with the Deep Core in place. If you happen to be riddled with noise in your environment from an older furnace or appliance somewhere, the Deep Core may be the only thing that cleanses the artifacts these things produce from your listening environment.
Power products are basic – you either hear the difference they make in your audio system or you don’t. Some change the sound without necessarily improving the presentation or revealing more musical detail.”

“The app can’t work miracles, though, and my 20-year-old CD of Spem In Alium by Thomas Tallis sounds only marginally clearer. With its single-minded focus on creating a neutral sound, the app doesn’t provide much in the way of manual controls, other than an ‘age’ slider and simple +8/-8dB bass tweak.”
