PS Audio Quintet is good; it is a filter and gives protection against surges. Most of the cheaper ones I know of make the sound worse, these don't. I just bought a second one on here. New they are $400 from Audio Advisor; AA has a return policy if you don't like your purchase. Look at Stereophile review.
Decent Power Conditioner in the $ 300-$400s?
Hi:
I am looking for a decent power conditioner in the $300-$400 price range, used. It is for my second system that already has a dedicated line, but only two sockets. The system:
Eastern Electric Minimax Tube CD player
Wavac 811 amplifier
Kcs custom made monitors
Hsu VTF1 pair of subs.
I don't have any idea of units in this price range. I use an Exactpower in my main system, but I don't need such level of performance in my second system. Many thanks for your help. Pablo.

I have an APC 15 that I picked up for $238 to my door on a Black Friday deal and have been very happy with it. I didn't notice a significant change with it, but it certainly didn't degrade anything. One nice feature is that it has two outlets specifically for high current components (i.e. amplifier and subwoofer), but it looks like you have two subwoofers that might be one too many. I think you can reconfigure the outlets to add another one with the higher current allowance, but you'll need to confirm before making a purchase. |
Balanced Power Technologies has some well reviewed options at your price point: http://www.b-p-t.com --John |
