Anyone go without power conditioning

Depends on where you are with your system. If you love every other piece of gear you have, then power conditioning is the only thing left.

If you search the threads you will find that a lot of us go direct into the wall utilzing dedicated circuits. I only experimented with passive conditioning didn't like what it did (music was lifeless) so never pursued the subject further.

I think too, it depends on the incoming power. I've got 4 dedicated lines. Same phase. One for PC & accessories.

Although I can and have gone right into the wall, I prefer the use of a passive filtering device so far. I've found too, the better, the better in that regard.... and not always is just any PLC the right one for everyone or every application.

I've tried Shunyata, PSA, Monster, and RSA. the RSA Haley does best with power train stuff IMO. The PSA Duet seems best suited to front end digital in my case.

If I could afford 2 haley's, I'd likely be doing that.

I've not tried active or balanced conditioning units as I've heard still more varied opinions coming from those camps... or that's my take on them so far.
