power conditioner


How important is power conditioner for musical system . Does it really  improve sound quality if the outlet AC power is adequate enough?

Back at ya , my setup is unique .. i have a separate 20 amp  line ...
 I am totally off grid .. full solar /lipo batt, hydro and generator backup ... 
oleschool,

Sounds like you have what we all need, great setup.....it all starts at that AC Line.
henrycai,
It has its moments lol...
Other times it can be quite expensive ,i just replaced two inverters at 2k each( no notice just tanked )..Although watching the hydro wheel spin and chug power to my batteries is slick during the winter.I enjoy explaining that the sun makes power for our house to my 2yr old daughter...The power i have is very clean in theory, but i do see it fluctuate throught the furman..I guess as usual here and almost everywhere in life,its related to the level you wish to go ...I would be shocked if everyone agreed on anything here ,even music lol..We all have different aproaches and financial investments in our systems..I also have another ht room 7:2 among other passions so the money goes in many directions..If price was not an option i would get into another more high end unit.I can say imo that a direct line to your system will yield great results,even if you unplug your amp during a storm etc..
best of luck ..

Although there are places where a power conditioner would be advantageous, such as a large apartment building; I believe it falls in the gray questionable area. Think about it, we're improving the AC, not the DC which is where it makes a difference.

The manufactures of high end components have already spent a considerable amount in high quality parts, turning the AC into DC; I should think those parts would be able to withstand a blip every now and then; that's part of what you paid for.

Many reviewers have stated they prefer the amp straight into the wall.

However, if I spent a bundle on a power conditioner, I'm sure I would be able to hear the difference, kind of like the magnificent clothes the King was wearing.

I have spent a Bundle on PC in the last 35 years, and I do not HEAR a Difference.......except some PC make the music sound dead or some might say very dark.....another words worse.....That's why I want to try the Toroidal Isolation Transformer.......AS far as the  20amp line I hope the gent tells me he can do it in this apart. you sure have a lot going on at ur house with the ac,  I love the part with ur daughter, makes it all worth while....thank you for ur input...godbless
