Of the power conditioning products on the market today few allow
your playback system to attain full dynamic range or reproduce
subtle dynamic contrasts accurately. The other culprit afflicting
most power conditioning products is the ubiquitous MOV. (Metal
Oxide Varistor) The MOV is a sacrificial device. This means it
wears down over time until it fails completely. Its purpose is
to clamp high voltage transients safely to ground instead of through
your equipment. This would be fine if it didn’t break down
and behave like the world's worst capacitor across your power
line, storing energy and releasing it as performance robbing,
time delayed distortion into your audio system. The effect is
quite audible. For surge protection the Adept Response employs
a non-wearing type high voltage transient suppression.
Adept Response uses only the finest conducting, filtering and
transient suppression components. Even the power switch is exceptional,
a very high quality magnetic circuit breaker. The advantage over
thermal circuit breakers is that thermal breakers increase in
resistance as power demand increases, causing heat dependent,
resistive modulation of the incoming voltage. This effectively
reduces the power available to your equipment just when you need
it most. The design employed in the Adept Response provides
for the most natural flow of music.
The state of the art inductive components used in the Adept Response
power conditioner add no significant series resistance. This maintains
a low impedance power path to your playback system. Also, the
Adept Response performs partial power factor correction. This
helps restore natural dynamics by bringing the AC voltage and
current into a better phase relationship allowing a more efficient
transfer of power. With the Adept Response as your power conditioner
all aspects of the audio/video performance are greatly improved.
Your playback system will no longer be starved of clean high quality
power. The result is realistic, beautiful audio and stunning video
resolution.
Each of the 6 outlets is individually filtered and double filtered
from every other outlet providing maximum component to component
isolation. An entire audio or video system can easily be powered
by the same conditioner, including everything from digital components
and phonograph preamplifiers to power amplifiers. This extensive
noise filtering creates a lower noise floor and improves low level
resolution, providing superior sound stage presentation. Power
amplifiers plugged into the Adept Response display increased dynamics
and perform as if they were more powerful.
