Post Subject: To Cap or not to CapPosted by Romy the Cat on: 3/11/2011

A few post above Bill mentioned that he run his PP2000 from AdeptResponse power conditioner. I am not familiar if AdeptResponse helps to separate one PP2000 effect another. I am not also familiar with AdeptResponse itself. Looking it up it appears that AdeptResponse is nothing but peter power resepticals with shunting caps – a BS in other words.
The idea to have shunting caps across AC line is multiple times was discussed by me. I am a big opponent of any shunting capacitor son AC line and transformer primary. If you remember I was experimenting running caps on the PP2000 output and reported that 1.5uF do lower noise and do destroy bass. Whatever capacitance I use in primary do improve measurement and destroy sound, so I never use it.
To use the caps BEFORE the PP2000 however might be another animal. I do not remember I was trying it as there was no reason to do it, now there is. I will be experimenting with loading the supply side of PP2000 with caps. I am sure it will reduce the PP2000 crosstalk but will it impact sound negatively – this is the question.
