Plixir Elite BAC 400 – Power Conditioner

PLiXiR Fully Symmetrical Balanced Transformer design. Made with Noratel XQ Core.

Our new transformer design improves upon the standard with even more tightly matched transformer windings amongst other improvements. This increases noise cancellation for even lower noise floor and purer tone. Improved dynamic and PRaT when every part is synchronized.

Customed made by Noratel to our spec with their proprietary XQ (Extra Quiet) magnetic core material, this core has the lowest hum and vibration from all we have tried and provides maximum insulation against DC component in the AC mains.

It also comes with a NEW integrated external magnetic shield to reduce flux leakage and improve damping for the transformer for a cleaner sound.

Alternative Power Conditioning For

Desk-fi setup

• • including a DAC, headphone amplifier, and a pair of small-sized active speakers (e.g., ADAM’s Artist 3).

Hi-fi source equipment

• • (Pre-Amp, DAC, Transport, CD/BD Player, media server, turntable, etc.).

Media server PC/Laptop

• Mac mini style media server PC/Laptop together with your audio equipment.

Other Features

• • Casing

Extra rigid aluminium vault casing – Thick precision extruded and CNC machined aluminium slabs form the casing for the PLiXiR Elite BAC MK II. The new casing design has even less joints over the original Elite BAC that improves the general sound further. The bottom plate is a hefty 8mm thick plate of aluminium that anchors the whole casing.

• • Vibration Control

Isolated by Bfly Audio – We use a custom made Bfly Audio’s “Pure” Series isolation footers from Germany for our Elite BAC MK II. The multi layer, composite material design of the Bfly footers isolate the Elite BAC MK II from the ill effects of self and environmental vibration and contribute to the natural sound of the Elite BAC MK II.

• • Master-crafted

Build and tested by Master craftsman — Each BAC is hand-made by a master craftsman. As much as possible, all electrical connections are done by point to point direct soldering with minimal use of connectors and joints that degrades sound. At the final stage, all Elite BAC MK II is QC tested and sound tuned by James Soh, the Chief Designer and Founder of PLiXiR Power to ensure reliability and the PLiXiR Sound for each PLiXiR product.

Cryo USA Duplex Receptacle (PLUS-D)

From our design and manufacturing of PLiXiR balanced AC power conditioners, we are always looking for better components to improve. Aspects of the sound which we value the most is neutral tone and true transparency. This allows equipment plugged into PLiXiR BAC to perform to their true potential.

The made in Japan PLiXiR PLUS-D Hospital grade USA Duplex receptacle is one such component. With copper alloy conductors for the Live / Neutral connections, a vibration damping thermoplastic body, a thick metal plate for reinforcement and other design elements, in its native form we find that it is what we are looking for fundamentally.

We then apply certain modifications to the outlet that improves the structural integrity and grounding further. The final unit then goes thru a deep cryogenic process to relax the stress accumulated. The resulting PLUS-D is the best USA Receptacle that we have tried, in terms of absolute neutral tone, true transparency and most importantly, delivers music naturally.
