ASR Emitter II Exclusive question


Just got one of these and was wondering what platforms/feet you guys have used/recommend etc.. Any difference with power cable upgrades on the power supplies?

Thanks for any advice/info

Rym,

Pleased you are enjoying your Emitter 11 too..

Any other Asr user's here?

My advice would be to leave the control unit and 2x power supplies on their own feet. I noticed very little difference as they are so heavy they possibly dampen any vibration themselves. The battery supply i have sat on some no-spikes, though again there was little change. Power cords, input stage leave as standard as you wont hear any change, its mostly disconnected from the audio circuit. The power supplies i'm thinking there was a small improvement, nothing dramatic though. Same cable used on cdp was Dramatic.
Enjoy what the Asr can do, it is very very special. I honestly haven't heard an amp like it.
Yes, the direct input is well worth using, it is substantial, even though through the input selector relays it is still fabulous. I have tried several rca's, from Audioplan(excellent), Harmonic Tech(nice but just ok), Transparent(dead),to Valhalla,(top of the list though testing a possible alternative with so far good results. How many hrs do you have on it so far? Is it sounding effortless yet? I assume it's the full gold board?

Yes Tony, leave it in standby.. Let us know how you get on with ic's. My test set are getting better, i'll swap back to the Valhalla next week and report back on changes.

Cheers,
Paul.
Hi Guys,

Ale, Glad to hear you are enjoying your Emitter as well.

The RCA leads i am using match the effortles bandwidth nature of the Emitter so well, the Valhalla and Audioplan's were good/excellent, but this one i build myself opens up the lower frequency range beyond what the others can do, and seperation is better too, resulting in a truly beleivable 3d full scale presentation. I call it the Class B52. I will be producing it, as i think it's really very good. There is a photo on my system page i think.

Let us know how it goes, always good to hear experiences from other owners of our favourite components.

Regards to all,
Paul.
Rym,

Interesting product, did you try it underneath?
I will see if i can source one for trial, also their other products could be interesting?
