Spiritual Audio VX9 Power conditioner & surge protection

I purchased this unit directly from Spiritual Audio and it is the exact unit reviewed in Stereo Times. You can find the review on the net. Here is the original Audiogon ad I purchased the unit off of about eight months ago. Really a fantastic sounding piece that also protects your gear. They fly under the radar, but this unit has exceeded the performance of my past big dollar conditioners from BPT, Transparent Audio, and Audio Magic. Simplified my system with an all in one dac/pre/amplifier with built in filtering and no longer need a conditioner. Great price and piece. Buyer to pay PayPal fee which will be added at time of sale. 


 Spiritual Audio power-line filters are some of the best power filters on 

the market. The VX-9 is one of the most versatile and best sounding 
ac-conditioners on the planet. This model is 2500 watts/20-ampere, boasting 
560 joules/30,000 amperes surge capacity with advanced power factor correction. 
The VX-9 input power is 125 VAC 50/60HZ with two 250 VAC 10 amp fuses. Power 
consumption 3-Watts 125 VAC. The VX-9 uses state of the art passive filter 
technology that eliminates AC line noise contamination. We use no coils and transformers in our power units that can cause current limiting or transient delay.There are no sonic coloration or loss of high 
frequencies. The VX-9 produces a huge soundstage with killer tight bass and an 
extremely transparent mid-range. The top-end is very detailed and dynamic 
without the typical power conditioner side effects, Rolling-off or Bottlenecking congestion.The VX-9 sounds magical 
with analog and spectacular with digital front ends. Video quality is also 
enhanced with incredible three dimensional color detail and blacker blacks. All Spiritual Audio power conditioners eliminate AC line noise and listener fatigue that plague most audio systems. 

Reviews:

I would like to say the Spiritual Audio VX-9 made the most impressive change I've ever heard in my system,.. I’d like to say that, but I'd be lying – or, as other publications might say, telling the truth.  However, the truth is that the improvement is so dramatic that no one, absolutely no one could ever believe that a power conditioner could (and I mean this literally!) wreak havoc in my musical mind; improve the sound of my systems, and make me want MORE of the same...a return to these days of staying up really late and listening to "just one more side!"

I have never heard the muscular changes (that's the word entering my mind with every CD or LP I play) that the VX-9 did in either of my two systems.  The vintage system, collectively, outclassed any modern equipment I've had in THAT set-up.  The improvement in my big system...well, I'm still trying to figure that one out.

The hums and buzzes that had plagued both systems for a number of months disappeared. Not being an electrical engineer or a household electrician, I can't definitively say why, but I imagine the grounding techniques used in the VX-9 erased all the bugs. RAID!  I'm not sure whether it's crawling, flying, biting, gnawing or sucking or what...but those bugs were eliminated. Music became easier to listen to!  Lyrics more easily understood; instruments differing from each other (violin or viola?) easily discerned in every recording I played. Stereomojo:

All I can say is “wow.”  I took the device home, plugged my gear into it, and started listening.  My first thought was something along the lines of “Is this really my system?”  Everything was bigger and better:  the soundstage, the weight and timbre of voices and instruments, the precise location of performers in the soundstage, and as Mike said earlier, the blackness of the background from which all of this emerged.  It was revelatory, much like my first hearing of Serenade to Music.  And spiritual.  I definitely found myself connecting with the music and the performers on a deeper level; a more human level. I’ve played with lesser such devices and have slept more soundly at night knowing that my gear was protected from deadly power surges.  Maybe they even made things sound better, which was an added bonus.  I just wasn’t prepared for what the VX-9 did for my system.  It’s definitely the solid foundation upon which the rest of my system is built.  Think of it that way, and one can see the logic of the investment. Stereomojo:

Spiritual Audio VX-9 Power Conditioner ($2,500): The VX-9 power conditioner enhanced the performance of every component connected to it, yielding cumulative system-wide improvements: an exceptionally quiet noise floor, improved clarity, and more clearly defined sonic images. Capable of passing 2500 watts at 20amps, the conditioner ensured the full benefit of my dedicated 20amp line, and two sets of 'Digital Source Tuning' outlets allow the user to subtly tailor the sound of source components to his/her taste. With a simple steel chassis instead of costly milled billet, the quality was clearly on the inside where i like it - An excellent sing-piece improvement for an entire system. (Greg Simmons) Stereo Times

Well the XV-9 was great and didn't hold back the system a bit. The system as a whole sounded and ran beautiful. All the components kept up with each other...no weak links. ROOM EQUIPMENT LIST: Audio Power Labs 50TNT Mono block Tube Amplifier $47,500.00 pair.

"The Spiritual Audio VX-9 power conditioner is a keeper plain and simple". I let the VX-9 burn in for about a week straight before doing critical listening.
I am currently using an Integra DTR 80.3 receiver and an Oppo 105. Both of which were upgraded slightly. I would consider them okay performers but not up to the caliber of my previous high end rig. After connecting my Integra DTR 80.3 receiver and Oppo 105 BRP into the VX-9 the affect that comes to mind is "focus". Music was purer, cleaner, and had a greater presence. Before inserting the VX-9 the music presentation was scattered and blurry. The fog had been lifted off and a more enjoyable presentation unfolded. The term "black background" is thrown around a lot but that is the best way to describe the affect the VX-9 had. Nothing but music on a stage. The bass was good after a week of play but has gotten better and better as the VX-9 burned in. The bass is now deep and controlled. Voices are incredible sounding and it was easy to image the singer in the room with you. The change in pitches and subtle nuances occurring during the recording were exposed. 
The bottom line is the Spiritual Audio VX-9 took average sounding components and allowed them to show their true potential. There was a transformation that occurred and that is undeniable. 
I read the Stereomojo article about the VX-9 and was impressed with what the reviewers had to say. After owning the VX-9 I now agree with their assessments. I have owned other power conditioners but none touch the VX-9.

Awesome Audiogon experience. Tremendous product. I am hearing things I wasn't hearing before! Highly recommended! VX-6 Helsa from Audiogon August 26, 2015

Like the VX-9, I now consider Spiritual Audio’s VX-6 to be an indispensable part of my audio system, at least in the capacity in which I have been using it.  Also, like the VX-9, I’m finding a way to keep it here for the long haul.  Again, a job well done, Bill Glenn and Spiritual Audio! Stereomojo: Dr. John Richardson October 2016

Featured at Newport Audio Show in the Zesto Audio room.Mahler's Symphony 1, with the Boston Philharmonic on a typically bright-sounding DG LP, had me sitting for the entire first movement, so low was the noisefloor and so high the dynamic range. AC power was being conditioned by Spiritual Audio's VX-9 power conditioner. Filed Under: T.H.E. Show Newport 2012By: John Atkinson Posted: Jun 7, 2012
