General: The D-TC Gold Signature series from Ansuz Acoustics is among the best available on the market. The Main8 D-TC Gold Signature is no exception, being the flagship power distributor model from Danish brand Ansuz Acoustics. The Ansuz Mainz8 D-TC Gold Signature features the latest Ansuz technologies and the most noise reduction of all Mainz8 models.

Technology: The Ansuz Mainz8 D-TC Gold Signature occupies its own class compared to the more affordable Mainz8 models. Also compared to the musicality of power conditioners and distributors from other brands, the Ansuz Mainz8 D-TC Gold Signature stands in a league of its own. What makes the Ansuz Mainz8 D-TC Gold Signature more musical than the models below it, including the €42,000 Mainz8 D-TC3 Supreme, is, besides the greater amount of noise reduction, the use of gold in the signal path. The Gold Signature series also owes its name to this. That gold has a musical sound quality has been known for quite some years now, but the way Ansuz Acoustics applies gold in its products is unique. The Ansuz Mainz8 D-TC Gold Signature also features the largest amount of noise cancelling techniques of all Mainz8 models. A total of 18 Active Zirkonium Tesla Coils are used, no less than 6 times as many as the models below it. Furthermore, there are 94 Active Square Tesla Coils on the circuit board, 8 Analog Dither Circuitry units, 32 Active Tesla Coils, 27 Active Cable Tesla Coils and 27 Gold Anti Aerial Resonance Coils. The internal wiring consists of conductors with a solid copper core which is subsequently plated generously with silver and then gold-plated. The complete outer layer is thus pure gold, no alloy. The Ansuz Gold Signature equipment and cabling owe their unique and extremely musical character to this, and this also provides a significant distinction from all other equipment and cabling from Ansuz Acoustics which feature silver-plated conductors without gold. The way Ansuz Acoustics addresses noise does not cause a restriction in the power signal, so you do not experience any loss of dynamics. Large power amplifiers can certainly be connected to the Mainz8 models from Ansuz Acoustics. This is because the Noise Cancelling is parallel to the signal path rather than the signal having to pass through an induction-producing isolation transformer or filter circuit. This means less inductance in the signal path and therefore no restriction limiting the speed at which an amplifier draws current. Even the heaviest power amplifiers and monoblocks sound better and more dynamic on an Ansuz Mainz8 model compared to being connected directly to the wall outlet. If you connect your amplifier to a wall socket, you will have a rougher sound which people might describe as "dynamic," but it is actually pure turbulence. With an Ansuz Mainz8 between the wall socket and the equipment, including the amplifiers, details are easier to hear, there is more depth and the layers in the recording are more clearly discernible. An additional technique in the Ansuz Mainz8 D-TC Gold Signature is that Zirconium Ansuz Darkz isolators are located inside under the circuit boards for internal resonance control. The Ansuz Darkz are discs with tungsten balls between them, which ensure that vibrations from the circuit board are properly dissipated and no new vibrations enter. As a result, the internal circuit boards are not affected by resonance, which provides a tighter, more refined and more musical sound.

Noise : Noise is a component in the current that you do not want in your hifi and video equipment. The noise leaks through the power supply toward the sensitive electronics, and disrupts their optimal operation. The less noise, the better for sound quality. By noise, of course, we do not mean the static white noise that comes out of your speakers as hiss, the high-frequency signal noise we are talking about you only truly notice once you remove it, then the music becomes more intelligible and there is less compression in the sound, which means the sound is less fatiguing to the ears and therefore less numbing, the less noise, the more music remains. Power supplies nowadays are a source of high-frequency interference components, caused by the ubiquitous radiation in the air. Think of 3G, 4G, 5G, DECT, Radar, Transmission towers, Wifi and so on. The Ansuz Mainz8 models have techniques that counter this noise, the more of these techniques, the more effective, more expensive models have more and different techniques on board, and perform even better. The differences between a very good power distribution box and the Mainz8 power distributors from Ansuz are significant, and you will be surprised. In serious High End installations, the Ansuz Reference models add more sound improvements to your system than you could ever have thought or hoped for, and we also dare to claim that this will happen for you. You can try all Ansuz models in your own home. Ask about the conditions.

Housing : The housing of the Ansuz Mainz8 D-TC Gold Signature is made of a natural composite material which provides a more natural sound compared to aluminum. Furthermore, the base plate has a sandwich design of 2 solid titanium plates with a layer of compact laminate in between. This base plate provides improved resonance control compared to direct contact with the ground. The feet under the Ansuz Mainz8 D-TC Gold Signature are designed to stand on Ansuz Acoustics Darkz decouplers, these decouplers provide even better musical reproduction and we recommend looking (eventually) at a set of Ansuz Darkz under the Mainz8 D-TC Gold Signature to fully exploit the musical potential. The top is finished with a leather top with the Ansuz Acoustics logo and the signatures of designers Michael Børresen and Flemming Rasmussen incorporated in a gold color. The overall result is a good-sounding, low-resonance and stylish organic housing that looks good in practically any serious high end installation.

Sound : What the Ansuz Mainz8 D-TC Gold Signature does with the sound is pure magic. Immediately after connecting, you experience more calm, better intelligibility and more fine dynamics. As soon as something happens in the recording, it intrigues and touches you. There is also suddenly enormous depth and silence to be found in the soundstage between the speakers, as if the room in which your system is located has grown. The sound becomes more natural and organic, it also flows more and sits rhythmically better together. The tonal balance between the highs and midtones and the bass is more harmonious and coherent. The end result is more musicality, and a sound that can be played much louder before it becomes unpleasant because there is less compression and resonance present. Also interesting when using Ansuz D-TC Gold Signature cabling and equipment, including this Mainz8 D-TC Gold Signature, is that even lower quality recordings suddenly contain music. Of course, the Ansuz Mainz8 D-TC Gold Signature will not suddenly magically turn a bad recording into a good one, but we have noticed that many recordings of lower recording quality suddenly contain music. Where we previously only found the music wonderful, but the recording was the limiting factor to enjoy it on a high-end system, the use of Ansuz D-TC Gold Signature cabling and equipment meant that we now discovered musicality and listening pleasure in many of our less recorded favorite music. Furthermore, the definition and authenticity are simply much better than many other power distributors and conditioners. Also, the emotional transfer of the Ansuz Acoustics Mainz8 models is unprecedented, and the Mainz8 D-TC Gold Signature is master of this. The Ansuz Mainz8 D-TC Gold Signature sounds more complete, more spatial, more detailed and more musical on every front than the already excellent and more affordable Mainz8 models. Each step up in the Ansuz Acoustics Mainz8 models ensures that more layers of the recording unfold, the playback becomes more detailed, more natural and simply more musical and more engaging to listen to. There is only 1 power distributor better than the Mainz8 D-TC Gold Signature, and that is the flagship model of Ansuz Acoustics: the Mainz8 D-TC Gold Signature.

From now on, the Ansuz Acoustics Mainz8 Power Distributors of the latest generation are available from Ohm-Audio B.V. We use the Ansuz Acoustics Mainz8 D-TC Gold Signature as standard in our reference listening room.
