Anyone try APC's conditioner?

We use a lot of APC's (Advanced Power Conversion) heavy duty battery backups and power conditioners at work. 3000 VA jobs that output a pure sine wave during battery delivery. I've always thought they would probably be able to make a decent conditioner for audio use. I've seen ads in the last couple of audio rags indicating this has finally happened. Does anyone know anything about these units?

APC = American Power Conversion. I should know as it is a Rhode Island based company.

believe it or not, I used to work for APC back in mid 90s. Good, reputable company with solid engineering although more toward practical than performance. But the rest like Monsters, I don't even trust their engineering! Not sure their new conditioner, is it high-end and for audio market?

I just came across the APC s10 and APC s15 yesterday. I watched parts of Toystory and Star Wars through an Adcom DVD player (their best) connected to a Panasonic plasma TV (their best) using Tributary component cables (copper). Both TV and DVD player were running off the APC s10. In my limited experience in this field, the picture quality I witnessed there was the best I've ever seen anywhere! This unit should definitely be considered for any systems where video quality is paramount, and to be true to my word ... I am considering one for my Sony projector (VPL-VW12HT).
