I think I have more density and a solid "base" to the music.  I'm still using the stock power cord since Decware ran out of their fancy cords when mine was shipped.

I don't have any regrets and from what Steve says about increased dynamics (maybe that's what I'm calling density?) I'd make sure your amp also runs through it.

Lon, are your impression based on ZLC vs other power conditioners or ZLC vs direct to outlet?

Thanks Lon and Archie. I appreciate your insights and I have scanned the other comments. I am glad to hear no diminished SQ using the ZLC and can see a benefit to stabilizing voltage to the sources.  I'm looking for no/very little change in how my systems sounds.

Having just spent big $'s on 25th Anniversary modifications (with ZMA to come), I just want to make sure I will not lose any of the significant improvement I've realized in my system SQ.

I would agree with the “dynamics/density” improvements and also add my entire system is still evolving with the Anniversary mods and upgrades, they are all coming together nicely. There is no question that the ZLC also cleans up you ac noise. Even with a dedicated 10g run from my breaker box and additional earth ground my dishwasher and ceiling light dimmers were still getting through, that noise is all but eliminated and there is nothing but beautiful black silence when the system is idling or there is a null in a passage. It is definitely a very useful piece in the DecWare assortment.
Best,

Scott,

Glad to hear, you've got a great system. Thanks for sharing your ZLC observations.

Hi all.
I have reconfigured by ZLC with some stuff that I had laying around instead of buying more stuff in the short term. I am happy with the results. I hope to try Stillpoints at some point when funds allow.

I added some older model Mapleshade Micropoint Heavyfeet. They are not version 4. I do not remember there being versions when I purchased them many years ago. Anyway, I put three under my ZLC. I also put them under my PS Audio P20 at the same time. I unplugged and reconfigured my system this morning in anticipation of watching the Super Bowl.

I am using the ZLC for my amps and subwoofer. I use the P20 for everything else.

I upgraded to the ZLC. I count this as two upgrades, as I'm using it with the DHC 3 power cord. I’m very pleased with both.

The ZLC filters out noise. I’m getting a startlingly blacker background.

The ZLC also stores energy with its toroidal transformer, improving dynamics, giving that little oomph as necessary. I’ve been playing Decca classical recordings. The dynamics on these recordings is fantastic. The crescendos are now noticeably better, they have the power they need for the big moments.

The 1.5m DHC 3 power cord replaces the 10 foot captive cord of my TrippLite IS500HG 500W isolation transformer. I'm using the DHC 3 on all my other components – SE84UFO, ZP3, AudioNote CD1.1x, and Well Tempered Lab Amadeus turntable. The upgrade to the DHC 3 on each component increased detail, placement, depth and spaciousness of the soundstage. The addition of a DHC 3 directly from the hospital-grade outlet makes it all even better.

I feel as though it's these accessories, the ZLC and the DHC 3, that fully unleash my system components and speakers (Lii Song Silver 10 Origin). Clean power that provides a boost when you need it, and the best power cords improving detail and soundstage. The ZLC with DHC 3 are the finishing touches to my system.
