Bargain power conditioners

I have the Monster HTS2000 for 6 months now. Once the unit is burnt in (2-3 wks), it does not degrade the sound. Now my system sounds the same with or without it. I use as a surge protector and to have a peace of mind. For $125 from globemart.com, that's is not too expensive.

I've been very happy with my Blue Circle Power Pillow. I don't use it for my amps, but everything else (pre/cd/table) are running through it. Smooth and non-limiting. I can't recall the price, but less than $500 for sure.

Just ordered the hts2000 from Globe-Mart for $125. Too bad shipping here to Canada is an addt'l $30. Still way ahead taking into account exchange as well as the list price here in Calgary, Alberta is $469 (cdn) and this one should cost about $250 (cdn) delivered. See how us poor canucks take it up the ass every time.... As a side note, I am not sure how my Bryston amp will now behave as Bryston recommends not using one of these type products. If it degrades the sound I am not sure what I can use (thats cheap) to protect the amp from surges & spikes?????

RGD fear not you will like the results, Robt Harly from TAS is not over hyping this product. BTW I have been getting great prices on Canadian stuff here, he he he, got price from authorized dealer here in USA for PSB Gold-i at $1699, retails usually for $2700......exchange rate in our favor now, Sam

I would have to agree with the Monsters. I use a top of the line Monster HTS-5000 which is $599 and I love the littel voltage gauge! The monster conditioners are made by the same designer that made all the expensive MIT stuff. And it sounds the same. And if everything else goes, your paying for a $100,000 insured surge protector and have piece of mind
