power conditioner

Of late where ever I might happen to post on this forum invariably someone throws out the notion of balanced power (and proposes a $2500+ device that purported delivers it) as though its a cure all for things audio plus the common cold.

Its a fact that clean power helps the system sound better. But for that kind of money, I'd put it on a used Elgar and get it refurbished- the money will be better spent.

Purchase one of these transformers. Main circuit box to the transformer to subpanel which will power all your audio outlets.

Perhaps this will help the conversation.....

BTW, I paid $950.00 for my balanced power conditioner right here on the 'gon.

Start with buying 1 PS Audio Noise Harvester ( $75 form Music Direct
or 2 for $100 )  , if the light blinks anytime other than when your 
heating/air conditioning is running then consider a power conditioner,
if it doesn't blink then you have fairly clean power , seeing will help you decide before you go out and spend a bunch of $.
A dedicated line is only good if you have a high current drawing amp ,
noise from anywhere in the house will still be on your dedicated line.

Have had Shunyata Hydras and PS Audio re conditioners.
Then I tried Equitech. Wow! Whole different ballgame.
There are other less expensive balanced power choices out there.
And if you are patient used Equitech shows up from time to time.
Equitech made my setup immediately sound like I had paid twice as much for it.
So I had to put one on each of my systems. Now have 2RQ, 1.5R, 2R and 3RQ.
The way it drops the noise floor is like your car stereo while you are driving and then you come to a stop. All of a sudden you can actually hear the music. And it does it without damping the dynamics like other conditioner types. Just my 0.02.
