Power Conditioning in Apartment Complex.

PS: I also have two identical (to my ears anyway) units and will mod one and then do an A/B with the stock version. Differences in sound are not always better, they are just, well, different.

Thanks, please let us all know how much you are charging for this mod when done :-) Even if very easy, as a general rule, I really don't like viewing the guts of any of my equipment. (I admit it, I'm squeamish) With the exception of a SMc amp I once owned, every insides I've ever peeked at has made me want to sell immediately because of my disappointment on how it's all built. Right this minute I have a $3500 digital job sittin (unplugged) on the rack that I'm thinkin about selling just because I lifted the hood on it the other day and I'm still not over it (I knew better). From now on I'm outsourcing ALL surgeries.

I know the regenerator would be #1 choice, but right now it's not in the budget...need to finish modifying my new Technics turntable, need speaker stands and am setting up a separate home theater rig for the same room as the audio.

Dekay, I bought both Protons: the 600T preamp/video tuner w/remote and the 690 Multichannel Sound Decoder for $40!!! Also an Audio Control 5 band/ch EQ in mint condition for $20...Now I'll need another line conditioner.

There's some guy in Audio Asylum selling a line conditioner kit. Any good?

Now the audiophile question: Can an isolation transformer be used in front of the line conditioner? If so, would it be worthwhile?

JT: The units only cost $125.00 (so mo big deal as long as the place is still standing after I am through (my SET went to a "real" shop for repair and maintenance). I do not consider the mod work worth $65.00/hour, otherwise I would have sent it out. You would love the Bel Cano DAC for its no bullshit housing. Even if you don't need it, pick one up anyway and just put it in the china cabinet.
