which power conditioner unit?


have read about power conditioners, power equalizers such as equi-tech,shunyata and nordost's "thor"
how do these units differ from each other in practical usage and what are they're individual strenghts and weaknesses?

Go to ExactPower's website (www.exactpower.com) for details and an animation showing Exactly what it does to a distorted sine wave.

I live in an apartment, and run my whole system off a single dedicated 20A circuit. I have an ExactPower SP-15A (balanced power unit) daisy-chained off an ExactPower EP-15A (power regenerator). All front end stuff is plugged into the SP-15A (balanced power unit) which, as I said, gets its power from the EP-15A, along with the amp, speakers (stats) and sub.

With everything turned on, the entire system only draws 450 Watts at medium volume. With the volume control turned up to med-hi with no signal (on the phono input,) the system noise floor is about the same as an unoccupied chair.
I had one installed since I put together my Audio system and that was 3 years ago. Just started getting back into Vinyl just last year. Anyway to make a story short.... had to move audio furnitures around 2 months ago and disconnected my Power conditioner on my front ends (connected directly to wall outlet)....and WALLAHHHH.. my system sounded so good (PRAT..galore) I cannot believe my EARS. Everything you threw at it-- CD, Vinyl, Ipod..damm sounded soooo good. Bass was so pronounce and very palpable..with authority.. The sound experience was like listening to live performance 10 ft away....(to me anyway):^)).. So now I have all my electronics connected directly to 1 dedicated 20A circuit. Felt like I was robbed of good quality listening for a long time...just to share my experience.
