Hello Guys,

@rohlim

Check out my profile to see what I’m using.

Send me a message if interested.

Mega-buck power conditioners are rather large power transformers that may clean dirty power to some extent, but they use a significant amount of power to do that. This adds to the power demands of your audio system; a higher electricity bill. What I'm using only requires a watt of power to do its job!

What I’m using doesn’t depend upon MOVs that can die out. It’s a patended and proprietary unit. It may not cost thousands of dollars, but it certainly gets the job done.

Don’t be fooled by sky-high prices that you may believe equate to superior quality and/or performance. Audiophile-oriented brands can charge any amount they want to. Their marketing departments can spin technical-sounding jargon to make you believe things that aren’t even true.

Only purpose-driven products that are certified to do their job are worth it.

You will certainly hear a difference. I know I did.

After a little reading, I chose this one (Sweetwater seems to always have the best price):

 

It to my separate circuit, everything that counts into it, small, easy to find a place for it.

The above proprietary claim is what seems to be used across the industry. What I want in a conditioner is the ability to provide stable voltage, isolation, noise suppression, surge protection and the ability to provide large amount of current for short periods of time. It would be helpful to have reference articles to help us to understand these requirements and what circuitry is needed to provide the above. I suspect that it takes a good bit of money to produce a product that meets all these demands. So, what do I get with a Shunyata Everest vs PS Audio power products vs Panamax (Furman) vs a $100 large power transformer in an enclosure? What power products are used with delicate hospital equipment and with other applications? As mentioned above, lots of snake oil, waving of arms and claims of proprietary circuits. Can someone provide some clarity on this subject?

Performance-specific claims about dramatic or even unbelievable improvements in YOUR audio system. The question then becomes...how do they know? Well they don’t know. It’s the imagination of their marketing departments. the manufacturer has no clue what your system sounds like!

If you want a no-nonsense power conditioner that does it all, check out my  systems page. Promise it’ll be worth it. Best I’ve owned and I’m not upgrading it.
