Nikola2 Linear Power Supply review on Audio Bacon by Jay Luong

 

Nikola2 - Linear Power Supply

 

The first review of Nikola2 Linear Power Supply by Mr. Jay Luong was published in Audio Bacon for a long while. I’ve been very busy and kept forgetting to publish this review but it’s finally up now with very positive results.

I’m glad to see that Mr. Jay appreciates how Nikola2 can bring real sound performance that he can hear from real life instruments. It’s Nikola2 design philosophy to deliver world class tone and timbre as mentioned in his review.

Also, I’m very honored to know that he regards Nikola2 to be the power supply equivalent of my reference USB cable and decided to keep Nikola2 as he mentioned in his review. That’s the best moment for every manufacturer.

Positive Feedback

As far as power supplies still being sold, the Fidelizer Nikola2 power supply has the best tonality and timbre in the entire lineup. It has a fantastic amount of tonal variance, soul, and essence. It’s incredibly tactile, balanced in fullness, and articulates with just enough precision. Because of that, you’re able to hear subtle timbral and cues and resonances that are usually masked by other power supplies. This is consonant with what I hear in real life.

Thank you again for this wonderful review of Nikola2 product. You can read his full review and see how Nikola2 performs compared to other linear power supplies to understand how linear power supply can improve sound quality better.

Added testimonial from William Chan

Here’s a new feedback today. He shared his feedback after receiving Fidelizer 8.9 Pro license as below.

Hi Keetakawee,

I am very happy with Fidelizer Pro. I use Purist as user level and Long/Fixed as processor priority policy. It greatly improves the dynamic, transparency and details of my sound system.

I am using JPLAY so I choose Long/Variation priority policy to start with. It gives an impression of more details at the expense of reduced micro-dynamics and loss of mid-bass. It may sound more like analogue but it is not my cup of tea. To me the Long/Fixed policy is more accurate and natural. That is just my humble opinion from what hear out of my system.

I thank you for bringing this product to the audiophile world…….great job and great product.

Best regards
William Chan

I’m happy to hear that Fidelizer Pro greatly improves the dynamic, transparency and details of his sound system. 🙂
