Hearafter, I've just listened to Anders Soderlund playing Bach's Toccata and Fugue and the bass in my system has taken a significant leap after adding the sluggo to my system, in both power and especially dynamic range. With the sluggo in the Dynagrid Jr., this has definitely has become a super rectifier. Bravo, Steve.

By the way, if I didn't have my system connected to my EcoFlow, I wouldn't be taking this risk. Otherwise I would have had to order another SDFB and graphene sluggo to feel I could reasonably safely take the risk.

Well my Graphene Sluggo remains AWOL and I sent all my other Sluggos off to another of us crazy forum members so I'll continue to be safe and not use a Sluggo without an SDFB. And the SDFB that I could swap out from the audio/visual system really does sound so good there in my PS Audio P15. . . and the SDFB is not the right value for the Jr.

If somehow money magically appears or I get the right frame of mind to sell a bunch of tubes and such. . . maybe I'll get another SDFB and Graphene Sluggo. But that's either a long long shot or a long ways away.

Edit to add: I decided to order a Super Sluggo from Verafi Audio and discovered that at the moment their site is not accepting any payment.

Meanwhile with current isolation changes I am really really happy with my system sound, and credit the Jr. for a hefty contribution to that happiness. What a component!

Lon,

That makes complete sense. I may be an idiot but I feel confident that I have sufficient isolation from the wall power to make this a relatively safe bet. However I will probably buy another SDFB and graphene sluggo, just in case. When that might be, I have no idea.

If it isn't too big of a deal to temporarily remove the SDFB from your audiovisual system and then reinstall it when finished, I would still recommend a listen to the Dynagrid Jr. with a sluggo in place. It might surprise you.

It is a real PAIN to move a lot of stuff and get behind the giant cadenza that my wife made me buy and access the P15 and SDFB back there so I have to wait until I have the house to myself to attempt it. In the meantime I'll keep looking for the Graphene Sluggo I have or find another Sluggo to slip in and use. As the SFDB that I could use from the other system is set for 5 amp I don't think using it would be any safer than just using a Sluggo alone.

I'll get there eventually to experiment. I'm rather strapped for cash right now due to a kitchen remodel then a furnace replacement and a recent plumbing ordeal. Sigh. I think there is always a little more to get from a Decware component.
