Sound Application line conditioner experience?

Heard an XE-12 Ref Line Stage with an Elrod Statement power cord and found it lightweight and somewhat hifi-ish in character. YMMV.

Based on Brent Rainwater's (Rainwateraudio.com) enthusiastic recommendation, I bought one of Sound Application's Reference Line Stages and two of their newer RLSs. They significantly lowered the noise floor in my three dedicated AC lines and transformed the sonic landscape, top to bottom, of my audio system for the better. Tons of AC contaminations were removed. It was a sonic revelation. I'm very happy with the enhancement.

I owned a Ref Line Stage for a short while. In my system, used with both Elrod and Purist Audio power cords, it made the music sound somewhat suffocated...as if it couldn't open up and breath. I soon sold it.

I have two local audio buddies who both own Sound Application conditioners, and their systems sound excellent.

The SA didn't work for me, but it works very well for many others.

I did have an earlier model (plain X,I think) Sold that puppy,pronto.(( It did retail for 4300,but I never understood why.)) I moved on to the Adept Response and am still happy after 2 years.

I owned the original Hydra and recently tried the PS Audio Power Plant Premier but the SA XE-12 bested them by quite a large margin: more liquidity, more natural tone colors (not as dry as with the PS Power Plant) and I can no longer hear a slight hiss that I had in my system with the Hydra. I'm using it with MAC Wire Delta PC which I like better than the Elrod EPS 3 Sig.
