Noisetrapper "Revelation" 8 outlet Power Strip - The Verdict?

I always preferred the power strip with detachable cord.
As all cables have the *sound* of their own, I'd rather use the one I like instead of a captive stock lead.

For shielded power cord, most of them, but not all, tend to slow down the music and does more hi-fi thing. ( obviously benefiting from a lower noise floor )

I guess I could pretend it's captive (and one less tweak to lose sleep over). I'm that way now with my Naim mains cords and it's a nice place to be

As Dave said, the provided is shielded.
There is a foil shield that goes the length of the wire and a drain that goes top to bottom(connected).
I tore one apart to connect the Nema plug.

The reverie V2 has three shields. One that is connected from tip to toe and 2 that are floated.

The one(power cord) that is provided is very good. I was suprised by how much better it is than the Naim cords.

Dave S.-
It has to be better.Don't you think? I am going to give the Reverie a 3 week period to run in.I hope it does the do...At this point it exhibits great control and delivers the goods.No extremes on either end of the band.No humps or bumps that I can hear along the line.Some might think it dry do to the great job it does at reducing noise.Never the less, it does sound more like live music. The DBLs tend to disappear.Something you would normally need David Blane for....

Yeah.

I'm not gonna lose a sleep over my Nait 3R's captive power cord.

Marc and Kuma,

Guys, I'm open, I've just never experienced a shielded cord that sounded better. There's a first for everything though. Sounds like I'll be adding this puppy to my value-packed list along with the NAPSC II.

regards,

dave

dave.

The best shielded power cord I have ever heard and use are the NBS Black Label and Omega.

Pity, they are too big to use with ANY Naim kit.

I've not heard NBS but they sure look the biz. I'm looking forward to the smoke clearing on the noisetrapper (which configuration wins;-)

Dave-
To be honest,I hate this whole power cord thing.
Reverie or not, the provded cord is very good. I could easily go back to that cord if the Reverie does not work out.Well,it might be a wee bit of a drop in service.

You should talk cablepro into sending you a detachable stock unit upon returning your hardwired unit so you can do an a/b.

Kuma-
Would you kindly email me at:

Dave-
I have a stock power cord with my Nema plug on it.I am keeping that puppy.
I am truly thinking of replacing the Naim cords with this stock CablePro cord.

Give it a try (especially if there's no restock fee)

Marc

No, I wouldn't waste my money. I'm perfectly happy with my 8-headed Hydra wired directly (without plug) into my dedicated mains supply. Sure, I could have any amount of add-ons between the equipment and the mains, but they won't improve the power actually being supplied.

really? Presumably from your name you're from Scotland, and it may well be different up there but down here in England I've yet to come across a place that doesn't have circuit breakers, and I'd be mightily surprised if they still existed.

The board sounds interesting though, I wonder they'd like to make up an Australian one?

Graham55-
You are correct sir...
I would not change a thing.....
What you have is,as far as I can tell, the very best way to have the kit connected.

Adam's a wise and cunning man. Moves the thread here and posts almost stop altogether. (Incidentally, I have never heard the Noisetrapper device concerned, and have no intention of listening to it, but I thought that my "sh*te" post was likely to get the boys going - and I wasn't wrong. No malice intended! Just good clean fun.)

Regards.

How true! I read this one while away on vacation and it took me a while to hunt it down once I returned.

To all of the US early adopters of this device - are you using a dedicated mains as many of our compadres in the mother country do - or are you plugging straight into the wall?

What is the time frame on the serial wired version which David D referred to - and what difference would it this wiring change make?

Gregg

Well, I've had another go at a wind-up on the Hydra thread on the Audio section. Let's see what that brings!

Graham

To me the Graham's Hydra into a dedicated mains spur is the way to go for your naim kit.

For non-naim kit with a convential plug, I use a Micromark Multi-Way Mains Plug.
TNT Audio tells you how to make one.

The only one I can't handle is that wretched Rega Fono's Wall Wart plug - it is a great phono stage for the money - but I hate that plug.
