Equi=Tech Balanced Power vs. ?

George2 is incorrect. The EquiTech DOES have a detachable power cord.

I've owned and used the following, with Synergistic Designer's Reference Squared power cords:

ExactPower 2000
PowerPlant 600
EquiTech 2Q
MIT Z Stabilizer II and Z-Iso Duo.

I've kept the MIT products. All of the others have their pluses and minuses, but the MIT (though not balanced) sounded the best in my system. "Balanced" is not the only silver bullet to providing clean AC.

there appears to be another sock-puppet in our midst. what's your game, ksales? -cfb

I use an after-market 20amp PC on my 2Q. It comes with a good sturdy heavy duty PC, however the after market cords do improve performance even on this product.

As I continue to browse forums and sites to find out about still more line conditioners, I ran across one manufactured by SMART Theater Systems of Norcross, GA called the GC-120. The engineering looks good, the claims relatively free of hyperbole, and the price ($1,995) attractive.

Has anyone heard it or have some knowledge of this balanced power line conditoner?

Cornfedboy I don't know what a sockpuppet means to you, but if the implication is that I work for some company and am posting a thread to help them out then you have made a mistake. I am a tech enthusiast who has two home theater apllications and with a significant investment in this equipment have done what anyone spending this much should and researched the market. I don't know if the equitech stuff is the greatest thing since sliced bread, I am merely conveying my impressions. I went to cedia in Indianapolis and listened to the PS audio and was fairly impressed. I was moving in that direction, but went to the equitech when many people in the business who had tested the equipment on their personal home audio systems steered away from it feeling that while it eliminated some problems with power it added problems by handling the current to such an extent that it took away from their high end amps.
Widescreen used Richard Gray on their system in conjuction with equitech, which the equitech guys felt was unnecessary. I believe widescreen only put it on the video side, but I am not sure.
