Benefits of power conditioning


I'm just starting to build my first stereo and I was wondering about the benefits of power conditioning, should I use one of these devices? What improvements would one hear?

My system so far consists of:
Speakers: Axiom M3ti
Amp: Blue Circle CS Integrated
Cables: Straightwire Stage (spade terminations)
Stands: Energy CST-M 24", (filled with sand)

Thanks in advance,

Since you have the Blue Circle moniker you might consider one of their Music Rings. I'm getting an MR1200, so it should be fun.

Start out with one or two Blue Circle BC86 Mk3 Noisehounds. For $100 each they are the best bang for your buck. Your system is small enough to just get the smallest Music Ring if you are on a budget..
I have experienced benefits from all of the power conditioners I have used. I have only had three. I don't remember anymore what the first one was, the second was a noise trapper which I sold to a friend. Now I have a Tice powerblock. Each time I bought one I heard more of the same improvement I mentioned in my first response. The Tice is the best of what I have used, but there are lots of them out there. I have considered selling my Tice and getting one of the PS Audio on AudiogoN, but so far I have no experience with their amps.

I'm not sure how much you want to spend, or what you consider to be reasonable. So again, I'm not sure what to recommend. I have never heard of the 'Blue Circle' stuff mentioned above. Maybe they are a good option.
Personally I like my Oneac and Powervar power conditioners. They work wonderfully and are much less money for a superior conditioner. These are TRUE power conditioners. You can get them on Ebay for a fraction of what they cost new. Go to Powervar's or Oneac's websites to learn more. As a side benefit to those of us with alot of components the isolation transformers help keep the ground loop nasties at bay. These will actually protect your components much better than a good portion of the "audiophile" conditioners.
