Wand EV User Comments (All comments are from Wand users who have changed from the standard supplies and in some cases after-market audiophile supplies):
- “There is an openness and transparency that feels more apparent than with my previous power source. It’s like the instruments are more separated, especially the Bass which feels tighter and more contained - ‘less muddy’. There is certainly no loss of bass notes, but it feels more like an instrument with its own identity than just tone within a song, especially with more complex rock music. The silence of the battery helps the depth and detail too. The unit is amazing, you are on to a winner” Dion
- “Definitely makes a difference. So far, I’ve noticed a clarity when listening at low levels. Bass is more extended too” Andy
- "With the EV powering my TT and EQ, improved musical dynamics and synergy across the full audio range are so impressive. Ian
- “… an improvement in all directions. Such a great difference and everything opens up way further and very organic to my liking. You are on to something, I’d say.” Himi
