 Product Detail

TweekGeek Power Conditioning SystemThe TweekGeek Power conditioning system
Through much listening and experimentation we have discovered what we feel is a power conditioning system superior to nearly everything else on the market today. This is not just a single component, but three different products from three different manufacturers. Each product brings its own benefits, but its the sum of the three that make this combination so special.

1. The Audience Adept Response aR1P single outlet power conditioner. Non-current limiting filtration and surge protection using the same technology as the $3800 flagship Audience aR12 power conditioner. Smooths out the jagged sonic edges that poor AC can sometimes inject into your system's components. Leaving you with a blacker sonic background from which more information emerges. The Absolute sound says "The Audience doesn't change a system's tonality. But it does impart a sweeter character to the sound and smoothes its edges slightly in an almost analog-like way....The unit seems to extend the back wall of the hall even farther back. And then it fills this new space with an extra helping of reverberant air..." - Neil Gader, The Absolute Sound

2. Bybee SE Ultra power cord. This is the sonic heart of the TweekGeek power conditioning system. The Super Effect Bybees strip the AC of what the inventor, Jack Bybee, calls 1/F (1 over F) noise. Something no other power cord or conditioner addresses. Top to bottom, the improvement is beyond description, and beyond what any other power cord is capable of. Clement Perry of StereoTimes.com says

"... The addition of the Bybee Super Effect Speaker Bullets helped to remove AC gremlins grit and glare while improving the overall musicality of the system. Installing the Bybee SE Ultra AC cords removed even more of the same, but also added something of their own to the music: a vitality and immediacy....

"...Post break-in, I decided to see what the Bybee SE Ultra AC cords could do with Jon Faddis' recent CD, Terenga (KOC CD 9969). Last year I was fortunate to have Jon Faddis visit my home on various occasions with rough masters during the recording of this excellent CD. Faddis' work as both a performer and quality control manager helped immensely in the production of this disc. So it had been a some months since we last heard his music. This time, using the Bybee SE Ultra AC cords and Speaker Bullets, we found the sound noticeably improved particularly in respect to what Faddis described as “the music’s timing, rhythmic flow and spacing.” Faddis shook his head, wondering how a CD he knew this intimately—HIS OWN MUSIC, in system he’s heard nearly a half-dozen times in the past year could be bettered to such a degree. I told him to join the club because I was shaking my head in amazement too!..."

"...Switching back to the Sunny Cable Supreme AC cords proved somewhat of a rude awakening. The Supreme has less ability to portray the music in the silky, dynamic and dimensional fashion characteristic of the Bybee SE Ultra cords. Instruments sounded slightly more rough and smothered together, giving the music a less “true” feel than the Bybee SE Ultra AC cords. I never thought I would experience this level of improvement over my long-standing reference Sunny Cable AC cords but in this hobby, one thing’s certain: “Better” is always lurking around the bend awaiting the unsuspecting listener..."

3. Oyaide MTB series audiophile grade power strip. Without question one of the finest AC power strips made. The thick, heavy nickel/chrome plated brass chassis is designed to shield from EMI and RFI as well as control mechanical resonance. The Oyaide outlets (you choose which model) are among the best audio grade outlets made. In fact they were made for, not adapted to, audio applications. We recommend the ERS option for the power strip, where we line the inside of the powerstrip with Stillpoints ERS material. This further enhances the EMI/RFI shielding and absorbing capabilities of the power strip.

The whole of the system truly works better than the sum of the parts alone. If you are concerned about current limiting ( I have used this combo on a 1000 watt into 2 ohm amp, and the Nuforce SE V2 series amps with NO ill effects) then use only the Bybee SE cord and Oyaide strip.

Your amps will exhibit astounding grip and control over the bass region, without losing their sense of warmth. Instrumental/vocal separation and layering will increase. Ambiance and the sense of acoustic space is heightened, leading to a wider, deeper soundstage. And dynamics, from micro to macro, will breathe new life into the music.

  A Tremendous Power Conditioning System Feb 22, 2008
Reviewer: Ellen Black From NY USA
Having known Mike a few years, I was very excited when he suggested he had developed a new power cord w/ Jack Bybee. I have been fortunate to own or demo virtually all the best cords since the intro of the TG Audio Goldstein back in the early 90s. In this case, I liked the concept of what Mike was trying to do and having also been a fan of the Bybee products, I knew this product held a great deal of promise.

I was also an early adopter on what has now become a standard for power connectors - the Oyaide outlets and male/female connectors. I use them at the wall (R-1 w/ carbon plate and metal frame) and on all my cords (including 046s on Mike's (my) new cords.)

Having owned one of the 12 outlet Audience adept Response conditioners, I was even more intrigued when he suggested that he had found what he considered to be an exceptional three-part power conditioning solution using the new single outlet Audience aR1P conditioner, an Oyaide MTB strip and his cord. So after some discussion with Mike, I decided to give it a try.

First in was one of the TG Bybee Super Effect Ultra cords w/ the Oyaide strip (three R-1 outlets). Immediately, I knew something exceptional was happening. With all other things in the system remaining the same, introducing this combination, the system (not even broken-in) sounded as good as with the highly regarded unit that I just removed.

Adding a second cord from the power supply of my Lector 7T III cd player to the Oyaide strip only further enhanced this effect. At this point, I was able to get about 200 hours of time on the system before I returned home for my next listen.

WOW ... everything had really opened up ... the music just flowed with better timing, air, clarity and coherence.

A day later the Audience single outlet conditioner arrived. Again, leaving the system to burn-in for less than one day, upon first listen, I knew Mike was onto something special here.

The sound, at once, was somehow more dynamic, more incisive, portrayed better soundstaging, yet was also more musical - all at the same time.

I am still discovering the joys brought to music from this combo, but wanted to share some early findings.

In combo, the system may seem at first glance, to be expensive. I would, however, challenge you to find a combo (at even a significantly greater price) that offers the same relative value for the improvements brought as does this system.
