Hi Rich,

I placed an order with Bobby last week for the Filarmonia. Do you feel it benefits at all with line conditioning? Reason that I ask is because I have always gone straight to the wall (FIM) with amps and this will be my first integrated. Also, what I would be using is an Audio Magic Matrix Mini (not current limiting), or would consider the Running Springs with the Cardas pc. Your thoughts?

  Bobby uses the amp at his shop directly into the wall (well an old Cardas power strip with no filtering that is directly plugged into the wall)with the supplied Golden Ref power cord and the result are quite good. I generally use the Filarmonia with its Cardas Golden Ref power cord plugged into a High Current PS Audio Ultimate Outlet (which has an old and short PS Audio Labs PC going to the wall) or I have used the amp with Cardas Power cord plugged into a Equi-Tech PLC. I do feel the Filarmonia does benefit from use with a PLC.... it provides a little more refinement (generally a quieter blacker background) which helps front to back contrasts, depth, layering etc.

    Thanks Rich. I will try both and see which sounds better in my room. Do you have any experience with the Running Springs conditioners?

      I have heard about the Running Springs units, but have not had any first hand encounters with the units.
