anyone have some good threads to read on line conditioners? here or maybe avsforum?
Have a 950/7100 combo in a component closet. There I can use it for all components except the samsung dlp 61" TV. Think I should run a dedicated power line to the conditioner for the tv as well? any thoughts on how much bang for the buck is REALLY necessary when choosing a conditioner. I have good reliable power company. thanks , Brett

as little as possible that guarantees the connected gear. if your power is good, the line conditioner cannot make it any better... there is talk here about them...

Do a search on this forum wher this topic has been discussed at length. Personally, I recommend the TrippLite Isobar units which are intended for professional users and facilities. Since they don't carry the marketing baggage of consumer gear, they are also less expensive than most.

The only thing you lose with the Tripplite is power triggers. I personally wanted this feature which sort of limited me to the more consumer oriented brands (e.g. Panamax and Monster) If this isnt an issue or desire for you then the Triplite model looks great.

Hi I looked at the Tripplite sight...very interested in power conditioners they offer....how do I size them up for what I need? Do I go with the total wattage ratings of my equipment or what? Thanks for turning me on to them.

I ended up get a panamax unit...the real important thing is to get a sales rep that knows what he is talking about. You'll need to isolate the monitor, sub, and all other components, including their patch cable to really protect your system. I noticed a difference in sound after installing the panamax. Seems I can hear suble things I could'nt catch before in movies surround tracks. good luck!

Bought a Monster 3500 MK II, works great. There was a slight difference in Audio, but the Video difference was huge. Have no complaints with the unit.

unless the unit is regulating voltage or current or the likes, then why not just buy an ac filter, because that is all that you are paying for other than a surge strip. would come out a lot cheaper i presume.

If I was going to spend that much on a power conditioner I would probably buy one of THESE

I currently use two monster units since I have my DVR, 2 amps and my TV on one rack and all other components on the other. For me the benefit of these units is also in the fact that by running my satellite/cable/antenna through the units I remove any potential ground loops. I realized this when I had a ground loop problem in my old house. Even redoing all the outside grounds and consolidating them with heftier bridging cable only reduced the hum but did not eleiminate it. As soon as I connected in the monster unit and ran the satellite and antenna cables through the unit the hum disappeared. So there are additional benefits from these units beyond "simple filters". Never a good idea to pre-sume/ass-ume smile
