Vans Evers vs. Monster

Hi,
I currently use the Monster 2000 (or 2500?? I forget) line conditioner, and I was wondering how different...if at all...the VansEvers reference 85 is from the Monster. Are they worth $700 more? Has anyone made the comparison, or a similar upgrade? thanks, Phil

I used the Monster HTS-1000 and then upgraded to the Monster HTS-5000. Got a good deal on a VansEvers Model 85 Reference here on Audiogon just after X-mas. The 5000 has a cool meter and did clean up my cable picture some. But the VansEvers is a whole different beast. It's called a "Line Clean" and for good reason. I had to adjust to color down on my digital RPTV and the sound stage in two channel music expanded by 3X.

Vansevers is Mozart; Monster is Salieri..... In addition to the above comments, you will also notice a much cleaner darker background / lower noise floor; faster treble. Really no comparison.
