Comme toujours chez Furutech, il n’y a nulle place pour le hasard dans cette fabrication rigoureuse. L’Evolution Power II embarque pour chaque polarité (comme pour la masse) sept groupes de 35 conducteurs en cuivre OFC de 0,18 mm, tous traités Alpha ! L’isolation de chaque polarité est assurée par une pellicule de polyéthylène, et le blindage par 9 groupes de 24 conducteurs en cuivre pur de 0,12 mm. La gaine externe en PVC est recouverte d’une tresse en nylon qui renforce l’amortissement mécanique. Enfin, les prises IEC et Schuko sont des modèles plaqués or de la série FI-E11. Ils embarquent des conducteurs en bronze phosphoré traité Alpha.
PRODUITS ASSOCIÉS :

COMPATIBILITÉ :
- Compatible avec tout produit
SON :
Ce modèle propose une écoute très rigoureuse mélange « d’assise et d’ascèse » ! En effet, la large bande passante déploie un grave puissant et une sensation de matière qui donnent du poids à la restitution, mais en même temps on perçoit un équilibre extrêmement rigoureux d’où rien ne se détache. Bref, on appréciera une excellente neutralité, un son précis et assez décortiqué, et un environnement spatial ample et correctement structuré.

Great article. Balanced trseaformnrs definitely work and there’s real science behind them (CMR). The downside is as you have stated a transformer big enough to handle a 20A circuit with room to spare is going to weigh A LOT. The price march skywards is worrying, though. It wasn’t too long ago that $5K was pretty much the maximum you could spend on a PLC, and now Audience, RSA, Audio-Magic, Shunyata, Silver Circle, etc have all busted well past that on their way to $10K, and I’m sure the others like Bybee won’t be far behind with their own $10K conditioners. Have to keep up with the Jones’ after all. When you are looking down the barrel of a $10K investment in power though, I really have to wonder why you wouldn’t just power condition your HOUSE at that point, rather than 1 or 2 circuits specifically for your audio system. Equi=Tech for example has several whole house transformer options. So called AC regenerators are in actuality just amplifiers that play a constant 60Hz tone, and an amp driving a transformer is weird. These devices in my experience are not the magic cure-all that they are marketed to be. I also had a Power Plant Premier at one point that was outclassed by an Adept Response Teflon conditioner. Interestingly, my Power Plant was extremely sensitive to the cord connecting it to the wall. You wouldn’t think that it would be since it throws out the incoming AC as part of the AC-DC-AC conversion, but it was. I could change the sound completely just by swapping in a Wireworld, or Siltech, or Kubala power cord. I definitely agree that a few thousand on a PLC is likely to be a better investment than the same amount spent on speaker cables in a modest price system, but good power cords for *every component* are critical to getting the most out of that conditioner. Stock, unshielded 14/3 cords just act as giant noise antennas, so connecting your components to a Running Springs Haley or Audio-Magic The Q with stock cords is cheating yourself a bit. Power cords are kind of the red headed step child of the audio world, even people that use expensive speaker cables and interconnects often make fun of them. I can pretty much guarantee you though that $500 spent on a high quality, effective power cord will provide a larger difference than the same amount on an interconnect.
