What's my next step in AC conditioning??

Umn:
What do you have plugged in the HTS? What components?
Do you have a dedicated line?
There have been several threads on this topic that you can benefit from...
The HTS which I currently use, is a nice piece but there are better options I'm sure you'll get input from other members about this.
Would like to suggest some trials to you but need more system details
Regards

Into the HTS I have:

CJ MV-55
Creek OBH-12 passive preamp
HAD 512 CDP used as transport
MSB Link II
Scott 350 FM tuner (vintage)
Sony Cassette deck (I am always dubbing for my kids)

It is not a dedicated line.

Thanks.

Oops. Typo. That was a NAD (not HAD) 512!
Sorry

Umm dedicated line helped me some with systen details and dynamics but since there are other ways to try things before you buy I would say try a Hydra or Exact Power AC conditioner, you can get these form soem Agon dealer to try out first. Next Granite Audio has a Ground Zero unit that I am going to try soon myself, also trail period. If these do not get you the desired results then try a dedicated line. Outlets are also recommended for the $40 each price tag but they will not quite your system.

Happy Listening.

There are still a lot of issues to address. I never tried the porterports, because I already had all the PS Audio ports I needed. If I had to do it over again I would buy a few from Albert Porter since they are cheaper, and I would think that they are just as good.

I haven't been impressed with the Monster power conditioners, but if it works for you, go for it, or stay with it.

Since I started looking at the power supply to the equipment I have replaced a lot of stuff. I replaced every power cord in my system. The improvement was worth the money since I replaced them with DIY cords. The background was much more quiet. The cords dropped the noise floor! I don't know how, but I replaced them one at a time. Every time I finished a new one I got the same result. The thing I noticed the most was the blacker backround and improved bass clarity.

I got the same results when I went to two seperate circuits of dedicated line just to the stereo. I used one for the amp and one for the front end.

A person could say it was all a coincidence or it was all in my head but I got the same results when I did each one of the seperate steps; the power cords; the outlets; and the dedicated lines. The cost is small compared to buying a new amp or speakers, and I think it was an effective investment.

Try any of those suggestions.

...and dats da name a dat tune!
