Monster Power conditioners. Anyone using one?


Yes,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I know that there are much more expensive power conditioners out there. I've read all about the Changs, Audio Magics, Richard Gray, Shunyata,PS Audio etc.

The thing is, my gilfriend wants to buy me a $300 gift and unfortunately, nothing I want is that inexpensive. I currently don't any power conditioning on my system.
I'm looking at the HTS3600 as a starter power conditioner. Any opinions or other suggestions?

I have an HTS-2600, it works just fine. noticeble sound improvement, and only runs 350 bucks.
dont let eveyone lead you to believe you need to spend 700 on a power conditioner. Im hoping that 3600 that allowed 270 volts was just a faulty unit. My HTS 2600 did an excellent job of protecting my equipment during a lightning hit.

remember, the whole point of the power is for A Surge protection, and B to clean the power up.
Its more for A than B, Definatly A is more important than B. The power conditioner is just another tweak.

Plus, Monster's customer service if above first rate. If your power supply crapps out, they will send you a new one, once you reciever that, then you return your old one.

If you buy opne from Ultimate Electronics, SoundTrack, or Audioking, they are distributers and if it craps out you can swap it out for a free new one. I swapped out one that lost its stage 2 circuitry (i assume from the lightning) about 2 years after i bought it, no questions asked.

Also, if a surge frys your equipment while it is protected by monster power, they will replace up to about $40,000.00 of equipment.

So as long as your rig doesent pass the 40k mark, if it gets fried, you get all new gear.

hows that for protection????
Slappy, apparently our noses arent properly angled upward. We must have passed right by the quality stuff and ended up in "inferior product" limbo.

Seriously, for around $350.00 the HTS-3600 is a nice piece, I will admit that the $1300.00 Panamax that Rwwear compared it to, probably is better.
hahahahahahaha

well,
i guess if you have 5,000,000 you wont be messing around with monster huh?? :) hehehe

Im sure there is stuff better out there, i just think monster has a pretty decent product with pretty good service, wasnt my intent to knock any other companys! :)

I cant say anything about panamax because i havent tried one yet, im sure they are good products because they do get respect on the gon', i was just spouting what i DO know about! Plus, he asked about monster power conditioners. I know there is better stuff out there.

Maybe MY nose is angled too far down to see the stuff up above! hahahah

Plus, i said dont let anybody think you NEED a better unit, i dont think you do. you might WANT one though, depending on what quality of gear you are putting into it!

PEACE!
I don't use any protection at all! As a result textural feel is increased. Much easier to focus. Seems to be in better contact with the original intended environment. Definitly sweeter. Much more dynamic contrast. Deeper soundstage. The audience also likes it better. Didn't cost me fifty cents...or three for a dollar... Tom
