Bargain power conditioners

Does anyone have any experience using a power conditioner made for computers (ie: the APC Line R 600 which cost around $150) with a high end audio system (front end). It seems to me that these might provide a similar level of protection and enhancement for a fraction of the cost of an 'audiophile power conditioner'. Thanks.

The last thing you want to use is a computer conditioner/surge protection.Monster makes a decent one for around $150.00

David is correct do not use computer power protector, do get Monster HTS 2000, Robt Hartly from TAS was very impressed. Go to www.globe-mart.com and get new one for $125.

Ditto on the suggestion to buy the Monster HTS2000. I wrote a lengthy comment several weeks ago about my quite negative experience with the HTS3500, so do not spend the extra money for this unit. The HTS2000 made a noticeable improvement in my own system -- both the audio and video -- and is well worth the $125 cost from "Global Mart" (see previous comment by Megasam). I would also recommend the HTS2000 over the HTS1000 - the "2000" has 2 outlets for power amps, which the "1000" does not.
