jtwrace Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I've had mixed results with the Vinnie Rossi MINI PSU. In my headphones setup, changing from JS-2 to MINI for my Aries Femto resulted in an audible SQ step-up, but at my friends place, changing from Auralic LPS (16V) to MINI (12V) for his Aries Femto resulted in an audible SQ step-down. The lesson I learned is that whether a given piece of gear can benefit a specific system is often impossible to accurately predict in advance, and usually needs to be confirmed by actual listening. I'm working on adding a Furman Elite 15 PFi power conditioner into my headphones setup, and afterwards plan to do another comparison between JS-2 and MINI for my Aries Femto. SQ results have been more than satisfactory with either PSU, and it was only with A/B comparison that a difference was heard. Just remember that using a power conditioner in front of the MINI will not do anything.

One and a half Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Jeeze, very complicated indeed, but hell interesting. I think I'll happily stick to unplugging from the wall during storms, until I move house, in which case i'll go the "real deal" with protection like SurgeX you mentioned Sent from my Blackberry DTEK50 using Tapatalk Air gaps and storms work well! asdf1000 1 AS Profile Equipment List Say NO to MQA Link to comment
scan80269 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Just remember that using a power conditioner in front of the MINI will not do anything. Understood. I was thinking of the gear not powered by Vinnie Rossi MINI or UpTone LPS-1, such as my DACs (Auralic Vega & Schiit Yggdrasil). My DACs are currently connected to AC through DIY toroidal balanced transformers, so eager to learn how the Furman with power factor correction compares. I even got myself a Topaz isolation transformer, but it arrived "raw" and I haven't gotten around to wiring it up yet. Link to comment
skyline Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Anyone using the Rossi mini pure? I would like to power my Lumin D1 with it. I recently switched to a Bakoon DAC-21 that is off the grid. It handily beat all the money and effort I put into Entreq power and grounding conditioning for my previous DACs. Waversa hub > Lumin S1 > Bakoon HPA-21 Link to comment
