Power conditioners: how do you justify the price? Obviously, the best way, is to listen with our own tympanics. Now, how do you do that with a power conditioner? I would read the posts on the 'gon, from PS Audio, Audio Magic and the like, down to the less expensive ones. Decide where you want to begin and how much you can justify to this insane world of electrical "magic." Then you wait and watch the 'gon classifieds. When you see the baby you want, negotiate a deal, buy and listen. Listen hard. Be critical. Go crazy. Listen naked. Listen on cloudy days, sunny days. Whatever. Don't like it? Sell it, back on the 'gon. At the best: you might make a couple of bucks if you got a killer deal. The worst? Lose, maybe a few $$. I don't know about the others (power conditioners, that is) but the Audio Magic line will produce. (not a dealer, just a happy customer) Do you want to spend the $ (new or used) for the improvement. Hey, it was worth it, to me. Off to the beach again. peace, warren
