98.14.180.171
These units have been well reviewed in a few places, but seem not to have a large user base among audiophiles. They are attractively priced and what reviews there are describe them as performing very well. In one review it is said to be competitive to a much more expensive Audioquest unit.I am looking at the 1800 Mk2, currently at about $1400. The problem I am trying to solve is a common one. My system sounds great at times, and not quite so great at other times.

My comments are on Balanced Power generally and not specific to the Core Power units.
Balanced power made a dramatic difference in my system. Lower noise and cleaner tone and harmonics. There are white papers available that clearly explain the benefits of eliminating ground currents which flow in a traditional wiring scheme. I can now easily hear changes in parts and components. My system is low power SET so my three dedicated lines and three balanced transformers are overkill. Distribution is: amps on one line, analog on the second, and digital and video on the third each with their own transformer.
I mention this because transformers do have current limitations.Based on your system profile you could start with one unit to get a taste. If you like what you hear, you could add more units to at least separate digital and analog.
There are many testimonies from studio and production facilities that have invested in
One caveat - Connections to ethernet or TV cable can compromise the isolation. I use an inline cable isolation device and also found ethernet to not sound as good as wifi with my streamer. You also must not use any regular household items on the balanced circuits.
YMMV
It usually tracks weather and industrial activity.
I've been finally hearing my recordings the last few days in the evening.
I wish I knew an inexpensive solution though.
It may be you - the time of day, how tired or lively you feel, the amount
of alcohol or pot in your system, how comfortably you are situated in your
chair, etc., etc.
