Battery Power For Audio - EcoFlow Pro

👍👍 Grounding

So i also have a mcintosh amp ma352 and sonus faber speakers.  I had worst static ever nobody could figure out. The synergistic research power cords and conditioner fixes it. Did you try synergistic research?

If it was fixed by Synergistic Research power conditioner then it wasn't static, it was EMI.

@Audio_phool… doing this worked for me. The conditioners I tried did nothing.

I took your advice and plugged my Weiss DAC with LPS into a Jackery portable power station I had lying around,  and you are 100 percent correct.  Incredible sound, way better than any power conditioner

What's difference between static and EMI

Eco flow and other portable conditioners should be standard equipment for every audiophile.  UberK, I owe you a fancy meal. You saved me $16k. 

At least it should be the first step before power conditioners. My Niagara 5000 did absolutely nothing … sold it off. Might work for others (before I get people pounding on me again) .. but was a big pile of nada for me 

I think you're absolutely right.   I bet any portable power station will destroy most power conditioners in terms of performance and value.  It's not even close.  There's a review out showing a basic portable power performing exactly the same as a 25k stromtank.  Battery power is the future and power conditioners are obsolete.

I applaud you sir for having the commitment to speak the truth .  Group think can lead to bad decisions. 

In the end .. just wanted it to work and all the advice did nothing. Especially the “do grounding” nonsense. 
 

Having three maxed out Ecoflows installed into the house to channel all power as we speak. Love them. 

@Alexanderking can you post that strongman getting crushed article? Would love to read that. It was on my desperate to fix things list until i tried the EcoFlow. 
 

It is so insanely priced!

What would you recommend me for a smaller system, just one amp , dac, and streamer ?  How about for my computer that runs 3 large monitors

This guy said it was EXACTLY same as Stromtank. All this audiophile stuff is VERY suspect.  I was literally inquiring about buying one until I came across your post. You are doing a great service. You are a good man. 👍

The reason why you're attacked is because you threatened the revenue streams with your truth telling 

@Alexanderking thanks for posting the article. I think that is the article that got me going … down this path when I could not get a solution. 
 

The new EcoFlow has the new low heat batteries and fans are no longer an issue. 

Yes I just ordered the ecoflow 3 delta for my DAC.

 @Alexanderking static is when you have charge build-up. It's static electricity. Same thing you can get on the vinyl or in winter when sometimes you touch any metal object you get that shock sensation due to charge transfer.

EMI is completely different thing. It's the continuous noise which gets into the power lines which can come due to many things such as your LED lamps, refrigerators, Washing Machines, SMPS etc.

How can you tell the difference

If you have static then then it's discharge happens only once & it requires some place where the buildup happens and its discharge is one time event. Besides, Static is not transmitted through power-line, it's the EMI which gets transmitted through power-line.

Thank you. Nice to know. Yes then I probably had EMI. I solved it by getting a synergistic research powercell 8 and cords, although I'm thinking now an ecoflow probably could have done the job for a fraction of the price. I guess you live and learn.

its good to help others. Sometimes you have ton make costly mistakes to learn. Since you have ordered EcoFlow Delta 3...it will give you cleanest power possible. I had suggested one my friend to buy EcoFlow Delt 2 for his system & he was never so happy to have such a clean power.

Besides if you have an OCD then you can attach your SR Power Cell 8 to the output of EcoFlow to futher clean up the power. After all most of the Inverters in these battery power supply are SMPS which if not carefully designed or have any EMI filtering stage can prove to be noisy.

BTW I have posted a very long review/article on these power conditioners here, that might be interesting and educative post for you.

Thank you for your informative post. You appear to be one of the few who actually know what they're talking about. Keep up the good work.

Didn't mean to direct that too generally. I've personally made a ton of ignorant comments, but I acknowledge them and learn. There are a lot of informed, smart audiophiles that I've learned a lot from. I think it's good to have an outlook that values education and trying new things outside of conventional knowledge.
