Hello All,
If you have 'hospital grade' wiring in your home then you've got no problem. Otherwise a good power conditioner is a valuable addition to your system. I decided on the Monster HTS5000 MkII. It offers a good balance of features (sequential switching, isolated outlets, in and out for cable tv and telephone lines, etc.)for the money. I didnt' realize how 'dirty' the power was in my house until I installed it. It cleaned up all ground loops and RFI noise. It supports my gear pretty well. I run 3 amps and six components through it. I use one of the smaller Monster units on the outlet that I use for my television and satellite receiver. Everything is filtered and surge protected. We all value our equipment. A good power conditioner provides a little piece of mind and protection for our gear.
I wouldn't have believed it, but my bass response improved after installing the Monster. It appears to give my amps a more consistent, cleaner supply to draw from. Until next time,
Mix
( I payed about $600.00 for the HTS5000 Mk II)
