前言
相信發燒友對電源濾波器是又愛又恨，因為市電實質上有很多雜訊，使用電源濾波器可以在某程度上解決雜訊干擾的問題；但是濾波器可能會引入一定的電阻損耗，導致少量功率損失，尤其是在大功率應用場景下，這個情況是顯而易見的。大部分發燒友都會在前級放大器、CD播放機使用電源濾波，但不會使用在後級功放上。“Monitor Acoustics 靜神”在過去一直在研發電源淨能處理器，使用最先進的技術去處理電源雜訊。最新推出的GLORY AGR-OCC電源淨能處理器(For Audio)，其「量子降噪」技術把電源濾波器的缺點降至最低。筆者在下文會詳細分析GLORY AGR-OCC電源淨能處理器的設計特點，抽絲剝繭的探討其科技含量，理解其背後的核心原理。
高科技的專業設計
GLORY AGR-OCC使用的「量子降噪」技術，是把量子技術(Quantum Technology)和減少雜訊(Noise Reduction)結合在一起。「量子降噪」是利用量子糾纏和量子糾錯技術來檢測並減少量子系統中的雜訊，確保電源的高保真傳輸和處理；同時通過量子技術創建一個極其穩定的電源傳輸環境，減少外界干擾對電源傳輸系統的負面影響，從而創造出一個超低雜訊環境。
很多濾波器忽略了“地迴線路”(Ground Return Path)的重要性，這個線路在電源傳輸系統中扮演著至關重要的角色。在電力系統中，“地迴線路”提供了穩定的電壓參考點。所有電路中的電位都是相對於這個參考點來定義的，線路確保了電源濾波系統的穩定性和可靠性。另一方面，良好的“地迴線路”設計有助於減少電磁干擾(EMI)，提高系統的電磁相容性。通過將雜訊電流引導到地線上，可以有效降低對外部環境的影響以及內部電路間的相互干擾。
全新的GLORY AGR-OCC在“地迴線路”的傳輸使用高精純度的OCC單晶銅導線，並且把“地迴線路”升級到“電磁式地迴線路” (Electromagnetic Ground Return Path)，這是一種使用特殊隔離技術的接地回路，它利用電磁感應原理來實現電流的返回路徑。與傳統的導電接地線不同，電磁式地迴線路通過電磁場將電流從電源設備傳遞到大地或其他參考點。通過優化電磁場的設計，可以顯著減少雜訊電流對其他電路的影響，提高整體電磁相容性(EMC)，確保電流的流暢運行。
一般電源濾波器的外殼都是使用普通的合金材料或塑料造成，而GLORY AGR-OCC的外殼是由特製的防干擾和防震物料，再加上一層防干擾和避震塗層，防止外部雜訊進入設備。
效果明顯而又卓越
我在農曆新年之前收到這個電源濾波器，所以有充裕的時間進行測試。我在家中把GLORY AGR-OCC電源淨能處理器煲煉了差不多半個月，適逢新年假期，我把這個濾波器带回去國內的音響房進行測試，因為國內的音響房間有更多的器材，可以進行全方位驗證。
測試的器材是老麥MC2500後級加C39前級和Marantz SA-11S3 SACD唱盤，揚聲器是Dynaudio C2。我先把前級和SACD唱盤接上GLORY AGR-OCC電源淨能處理器；首張播放的是慧嫻那張頭版寶麗金 88 極品音色系列專輯。剛於農曆年聽完慧嫻的演唱會，感觸猶新。在演唱會中，很多觀眾都聽到哭了起來；我旁邊一位觀眾說了一句話：樂壇欠慧嫻太多！真是講出了所有慧嫻粉絲的心底話。這張專輯展現了慧嫻少女時期的多首名曲，真是百聽不厭。一開首的〈逝去的諾言〉，GLORY AGR-OCC已經展現實力，穩定的電源供應提升了聲音的動態範圍，帶來更強勁的低音、更清脆的高音以及更均衡的整體音效。跟著〈玻璃窗的愛〉、〈傻女〉、〈千千闋歌〉和〈我寂寞〉等，多首名曲營造出一種略帶憂傷又充滿回憶感的氛圍。乾淨的音樂背景聽起來既富有層次感又不失流暢性，人聲清晰，背景音樂與主唱之間的平衡處理得當，把音樂帶來了令人愉悅的聽覺體驗。再來一張鄺美人的精裝歌集，名曲〈傷心的我〉、〈再坐一會〉等，濾波器增強了歌曲的空間感和立體感，使每個音軌都能很好地融合在一起，同時突出人聲的表現力。特別的是我最愛的〈堆積情感〉一曲，寧靜的背景增強了音樂感染力，加上了GLORY AGR-OCC之後，器材展現出音樂中那些因電源相關失真而可能被忽略的細微之處，樂曲感人至深，真是一絕！
GLORY AGR-OCC在官網上說可以直插大功率後級，我就作一個全方位的測試，把濾波器的一個插位直插老麥MC2500，另一個插位接上一個發燒排插，然後接上我的兩個經典直驅黑膠唱盤: Yamaha GT-2000和大英博物館也收藏的Technics SL-1210MKII (SL-1200MKII 是日本本土版，SL-1210MKII是海外版，大英博物館收藏的便是SL-1210MKII)。這樣的配置給予GLORY AGR-OCC一個更嚴峻的考驗：大功率的後級和放大倍數很大的直驅唱盤，對濾波器的要求都很高。由於直驅馬達直接驅動轉盤，細微的電流底噪都可以被放大成令人煩擾的噪音；GLORY AGR-OCC是龍是蛇，這個配置可以給予清晰的答案。
時間充裕，我拿出兩套珍藏的黑膠經典：蘇提爵士的《馬勒交響曲全集》和白頭佬斯托科夫斯基的《俄羅斯精品集》。我先用Yamaha GT-2000聆聽馬勒第一號、第三號和第八號交響曲。唱針一落，GLORY AGR-OCC發揮出全方位的功架，底噪少了很多，宏大的音樂編制完全沒有壓縮，使得音樂能夠產生極為壯闊的聲音效果。第八交響曲創造出無與倫比的聲響規模,從極輕柔的樂段到爆發性的高潮，音量的對比表達了深刻的音樂情感，真是聽得人耳油滿地！
再用SL-1210MKII聆聽白頭佬的四張專輯，無論是柴可夫斯基的意大利隨想曲、莫索斯基的荒山之夜、以至史特拉文斯基的火鳥，複雜的旋律線相互交織,使音樂聽起來既豐富又不失條理。每首音樂都帶有不同的情緒或色彩，樂隊強奏時音樂也開揚震撼，增加了音樂的深度。GLORY AGR-OCC 的功能完全沒有誇張，音樂的戲劇性無與倫比，音樂的底噪降到微不可聞，增添了音樂的意境感，音效更具有極其豐富的層次感和情感深度，兩個字：精彩！
結語：
在您的音頻設置中加入GLORY AGR-OCC電源濾波器，真的可以顯著改善音質，保護您在高端音頻設備上的投資，並確保更加一致和愉快的聆聽體驗。無論你是一個發燒友，還是僅僅是一個欣賞美妙聲音的人，一個高品質的電源淨能器能給你的音樂體驗帶來有意義的改變，少投資帶來高增益，值！（ 來自香港 音响技術-e試聽心得 的試聽報導 ）

Monitor Acoustics GLORY AGR-OCC Power Purifier (For Audio)
By Simon / Audiotechnique 音響技術
Introduction
Audiophiles often have a love-hate relationship with power conditioners. On one hand, they help reduce the considerable noise found in household AC lines. On the other hand, many of these devices introduce electrical resistance that can cause slight power loss—particularly noticeable in high-current applications. That’s why power filters are typically used with preamps and CD players, but rarely with power amps.
Monitor Acoustics has spent years developing power purification systems using cutting-edge technologies to tackle this issue. Their latest creation—the GLORY AGR-OCC Power Purifier (For Audio)—introduces “Quantum Noise Reduction” technology that minimizes the drawbacks typically associated with power filtration. In this review, I’ll break down its design, highlight the technical innovations, and explain what makes it such an impressive piece of engineering.
High-Tech, Purpose-Built Design
At the heart of the GLORY AGR-OCC is Quantum Noise Reduction—a novel approach that combines quantum technology with noise suppression techniques. This method uses quantum entanglement and quantum error correction to detect and suppress noise in the power delivery system. The goal: ensure high-fidelity energy transmission while minimizing outside interference. The result is an ultra-low-noise power environment for your gear.
One often-overlooked factor in many power conditioners is the ground return path. This pathway is essential for defining voltage reference points and ensuring system stability. A well-designed ground return helps suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI) and enhances electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), directing unwanted current to ground and reducing cross-talk between components.
The GLORY AGR-OCC addresses this by incorporating ultra-pure OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) single-crystal copper in its ground return circuit. Even more impressively, it upgrades to an Electromagnetic Ground Return Path, which leverages electromagnetic induction to create a clean, efficient current return loop—unlike conventional conductive ground lines. This innovative design helps isolate noise, improving EMC and ensuring smooth, uninterrupted current flow.
Instead of common alloy or plastic housings, the GLORY AGR-OCC is encased in a custom anti-vibration, EMI-resistant shell with an additional damping coating. This prevents external noise from entering the unit, offering both mechanical and electrical isolation.
Clear, Tangible Results
I received the GLORY AGR-OCC just before the Lunar New Year, which gave me plenty of time to properly burn it in and put it through its paces. After two weeks of testing at home, I brought it to my audio room in China—where I have access to more high-end gear for deeper evaluation.
For testing, I paired it with a McIntosh MC2500 power amp, C39 preamp, and Marantz SA-11S3 SACD player, driving a pair of Dynaudio C2 loudspeakers. I started by connecting the preamp and SACD player to the GLORY AGR-OCC.
First album: Priscilla Chan’s 88 Ultimate Audiophile Edition. Having recently attended her concert, the emotions were still fresh—many fans, including those beside me, were moved to tears. The album showcases her early classics, and the track “Lost Promises” instantly demonstrated the GLORY AGR-OCC’s impact. Cleaner power delivery expanded the dynamic range, adding deeper bass, crisper highs, and more balanced midrange.
Other songs like “Love Through the Window,” “Silly Girl,” “Thousands of Songs,” and “I'm Lonely” created a nostalgic yet emotionally rich atmosphere. The background was pitch black, imaging was precise, and vocals stood out with vivid realism. The music felt more engaging and immersive—an overall elevated listening experience.
Next, I played another favorite: a deluxe edition of songs by Maria Cordero. Tracks like “Heartbroken Me” and “Sit With Me a While” sounded more open and three-dimensional. The purifier enhanced spatial imaging while emphasizing vocal expression. Especially on “Layered Emotions,” the ultra-quiet background helped subtle musical details shine—previously masked by AC noise.
Encouraged by the results, I tested the unit further. The GLORY AGR-OCC claims it can even power high-current amplifiers, so I connected the MC2500 directly to one of its outlets. The other outlet powered a high-end power strip feeding two legendary turntables: the Yamaha GT-2000 and the Technics SL-1210MKII (the export version of the iconic SL-1200MKII, which is featured in the British Museum).
This setup was a real stress test—driving a massive amp and two high-gain direct-drive turntables, where even the tiniest current noise gets amplified into annoying hum or buzz. The GLORY AGR-OCC’s performance here would reveal whether it’s truly a game-changer.
I pulled out two sets of cherished vinyl records. First up: Sir Georg Solti’s Mahler Symphony Cycle. Using the GT-2000, I played Symphonies No.1, No.3, and the epic No.8. As the needle touched down, the improvement was undeniable. Background noise had vanished, and the massive orchestral textures unfolded without compression or distortion. The emotional shifts—from gentle passages to towering climaxes—were conveyed with full impact. I was floored.
Then came the Technics SL-1210MKII, spinning Stokowski’s Russian Masterworks—Tchaikovsky’s Capriccio Italien, Mussorgsky’s Night on Bald Mountain, and Stravinsky’s The Firebird. Even with the complex, interwoven musical lines, the presentation was spacious, layered, and dynamic. Orchestral peaks sounded expansive and powerful. The GLORY AGR-OCC didn’t just reduce noise—it heightened the emotional weight and narrative drama of the music. In a word: outstanding.
Conclusion
Adding the GLORY AGR-OCC to your audio system is a small investment that yields high returns. It dramatically improves sound quality, protects your valuable gear, and ensures a more stable, enjoyable listening experience. Whether you’re a hardcore audiophile or just someone who appreciates great sound, a high-quality power purifier like this can truly elevate your system. Big sonic gains—without a big spend. Worth it.
