From my experience and knowledge, I can usually spot the nonsense emanating from people imagining things...like "current starvation"...but then there are a lot of people who will go to great lengths to justify a point even in the face of facts being elsewhere, and those people are ready to defend their supposed "golden ears" to make a useless point...roll some big, thick PCs indeed...it could make up for obvious shortcomings elsewhere.

Dude, do what works for you. It's your money. I have NO problems you guys are happy with 515.

Like I said, I'm just sharing my experience ... and yes, I do believe PCs are as important as any components in my system. Thickness is not a requirement but just SQ!

Look around the used market for a Tice Power Block and it's companion The Titan. I bought mine for 600 total and I'm very happy with it. You want to pick it up though shipping these behemoths is costly and they can easily be daged in shipping. The rubber grommets that hold the transformers get brittle from age and heat and if they are dropped can.Crack and them the transformer is jostled about damaging the innards. These are the ones that started the AC line enhancer market.

Are line conditioner similar to NOS tubes, the older the better? Why bother dealing with brittle, crack ... No Thanks!

I had a 515 and it's NOT very good to be kind.

I choose not to spend thousands on this so called new technology in line enhancers when I can get 90 per cent of the benifit of in a Tice. If you are not dragging around the 70 pound power block and it is just sitting where it is supposed to be dried out rubber cushions are no problem then do what it did massage them with vasiline and restore them or spend thousands on a line enhancer as good as the Tice. A power block with a Titan is a major improvment.I would rather put my money in lp's or another piece of equipment.
The improvement of a dedicated power line just for your stereo equipment is also an option. Call your power company.

A friend of mine once had a Tice Power Block and it did nothing........I mean that in the best way possible. :?)
