Been out of HiFi for awhile and looking to get back on a budget - Power Conditioner Ask


I used to use a BPT 3.5 Signature in my set up and was very happy. Present circumstances don't allow for the same outlay. Are there other options which would get me 70,80, 90% of the performance of the BPT balanced conditioner for less? I am looking at Equi=Core 1000 or an Equi-Core 1800 V1 used for around $700. Does anyone have familiarity with a product offered by Antek? Their model BP-1300 uses a balanced torroidal transformer, 4 outlets, weighs in over 30# and can be had for only $300. Is anyone familiar with these and can speak to how they would compare with the BPT 3.5? Any other suggestions?

Here’s a BPT at only $200 for local pickup in Forest Hills, NY. When looking for affordable pre-owned audio equipment, visit HiFi Shark.

I’ve got two balanced power conditioners - one is for the streaming chain in another room, the other is in my main system for the source components - not the amp. Definitely improves the SQ.
