power conditioner

"none of my favorite high end stores that I do business with use power conditioners in their showrooms..."
The dealers want the gear they sell to sound as good or better at your home to avoid returns . If they max out the room acoustics and ancillary gear in the showroom and you get your gear home and it does not sound as good it does not help them .

I have no idea why they do not, just an observation

That is a very valid reason maplegrovemusic. 

Fair enough jl35. Thanks for the reply.

Best to you both,

maybe not demonstrating gear at it's best also helps explain the disappearance of audio stores...I have never been in sales, but it seems an odd way to sell product...I would think the store would want their gear to sound great or else the customer won't buy it,  and also sell power and room acoustic gear too...Are you in audio sales maplegrove?...I would be curious if that is common practice, as we have many dealers on these forums...
