    Mains filtering

    Dear all,

    I've an Olson Sound Fantastic mains filter (http://www.soundfantastic.co.uk/). I can really say that when I power my Technics MIDI through Olson its possible to ear a very noticeable difference in sound, with much better bass. But having Rotel RSP-1066 and Rotel RMB-1075 powered using the same mains unit, I can’t notice such a difference, I sincerely can't judge which one sound better to me ?!

    I got some advice in order to have the pre-amp connect through Olson mains and the power amp directly to mains socket. Can anyone tell me advantages and disadvantages of doing so? Which set up is better?

    Regards,

    Pedro

      RA-1062 used with RB-1080?
      by dnn8350
      I have an RA-1062 which I use mainly for 2-channel music playback. I find it very musical, but feel the need for more power to provide greater ease with some material (e.g. concert grand piano at 'realistic' levels). The dealer has recommended driving an RB-1080 with the RA-1062 pre-outs. Any experience...

The observation is that one must keep his or her head in a fixed location to get an even frequency response. For some...
