Vans Evers vs. Monster

I made yhe mistake of purchasing Monsters' HT2500, it was a waste of money. It makes more noise than straight out of the wall connection.

I researched the PS Audio Power Plant and didn't like the efficiency factor much, as Sugarbrie suggests. At the end, I purchased the ExactPower 2000 which seems to do the same kind of job with a lot less waste. It made a world of difference -- vocals came across much cleaner. Check out the website. It provides a clean 120v (so is also a "surge protector") and acts as a line conditioner if I'm interpreting things right. A little pricey, though you might be able to get some good deals in the classifieds.

I have also tried one of those Blue Circle Noise Hounds only available here on Agon. Quite an amazing product. It made a difference every place I plugged it in; even supporting my Vansevers Reference 83. More noticeable when plugged with a lesser or no conditioner.
