My Review:
Vera Fi adapter “AC Tuning X”.
When I received the (SDFB) Swiss Digital Fuse Box (s) with the graphene slugs for my Mono amps I tried it with the piggy tails that Vera-Fi also offered. Honestly, the sound took a back seat, anemic best described it. I believe the wiring in the piggy tails was just not beefy enough for my Hi-Powered amps. I tried other short AC cables from the likes of Snake River Takshaka and others, but they just didn’t impress.
So, since I am using AudioQuest Dragon power cords I put the SDFB away for a while but I continued to use the graphene slugs in the amps. I really liked the sound with the graphene slug instead of the Synergistic Fuses so I went without any fuse protection.
Mark eventually released a new item calling it the AC Tuning X. It connects up to the SDFB. This item takes the place of another power cord (i.e. Piggy tails). It has a female IEC on one end and a male IEC on the other. Internally the unit contains another graphene fuse. Seemed kind of redundant but Mark offers other types of slugs that can be used for fine tuning the sound.
When I first hooked everything back up, I was expecting more of the same from my first experience. But wait, it didn’t sound too terrible. I am enough of a cable proponent that I believe things have to break in for a while before passing judgment.
So, I gave it all a week of continuous voltage and music playing. At the end of this time, I can honestly say I am very pleased. The sound is strong, defined, with bass to love and the overall sound quality is improved.
My $$$ AudioQuest Dragon power cords are not short changed.
Highly recommended.
