I am looking at getting power conditioner, specifically a PANAMAX M5300-PM. Anyone have experience or an opinion to offer regarding this unit or other makes? Open to suggestions.

Tripplite "Isobar" power line conditioners are extremely good, and since they are made for professional use, don't carry the "boutique cost penalty" of consumer grade stuff.

Another option would be Brickwall..... it does not use MOV's....

I would suggest the brick wall as well. Units using MOV's will wear out over time. Trouble is it is difficult to tell when the MOV units start to wear out. Check them out for yourself... http://www.blocksurge.com/

Thanks for the above referrals. I appreciate it. The brickwall seems to be a solid unit, however it is a basic no frills piece, (Not necessarily a bad thing). Having said that, it doesn't have any protection for Sat TV,phone, Ethernet connections..no 12 v trigger etc..

I came across another unit
Pureav

I can get it for $199. Any thoughts? Anybody have one?

I'm using one right now. It's a good unit at the sub-$200 price, although the MSRP is a bit unreasonable in my opinion.

Gonk,

Are you using the Belkin PureAV™ Home Theater Power Console PF60? I agree the MSRP is high. Though at $200 it is real competitive, well actually less expensive than Panamax and Monster units with similar features. I read a couple of positive reviews. How has it worked out for you?

I am using the PF60. It has been comparable to (indistinguishable from) my old Panamax MAX5100 from 2002.

edcon and gonk,

I'm thinking of adding the Belkin PureAV PF60. I will be hooking up my new 990/7500 shortly and want to make sure all my components are protected. I'm new to this, so here's my question. There's only one cord to plug in, is it okay to plug both the 990 and 7500 and the rest of my A/V equipment into the PF60? The manual for the 7500 recommends using a dedicated circuit. If I use a dedicated circuit to plug the PF60 into, will this provide adequate power to run all my equipment?

Thanks.
