What is your take on Mapleshade products

Nonoise, sorry, away from the computer for a while...great to see your having success...but, just so I'm clear on it, are you saying that, in your case, the Mapleshade powerstrip was better than the wall, or not better than the wall?? Just curious is all. Agree with you about Pierre's recording skills. He's very good. Also I think you're right about how revealing his cables (and even the Mapleshade sound altogether) is...more so, maybe, than most brands. Regards. John

Recently added the Mapleshade Excalibur IC's to my system. My tubed phono stage has a pretty high output impedence, and my cables have all been Spectral/MIT, good buys used, but favor low impedence SS gear. Out of the box, the bass perfromace was immediate. Over hours, I just couldn't get away from my LP's until my wife came down to check on me. Was listening to Simon/Garfunkel Concert in central park.
Wife, who has never cared about fidelity sat down, and remarked, it's like a front row seat. For 240 dollars, excellent upgrade and highly recommended.

John, Sorry I missed your post and that it took so long to get back to you. After experimenting with the power strip in and out of the loop, I found that the CDP sounded slightly better directly into the wall.

If I had to use it to satisfy the need to accommodate more devices, I wouldn't hesitate to use it, but I had another outlet close enough to use for my CDP. It hasn't that clean and tidy look (visually suspended across the side of the room) but I never cared about that.

All the best,
Nonoise
