To power condition or not to power condition AVR

@knownothing ,

I understand your concerns now. And to answer your question, yes, there is a trade-off. See, if you were using a separates configuration, you would want to run the amplifier into one of the lower filtration high-current banks to prevent castrating the current delivery, while you would run the processor into one of the lower current high-filtration banks that are designed for constant voltage source equipment. Thus, if you are running an AVR, you would want to prioritize the current delivery needs of the amplifier over filtration of the processor circuitry by using one of the high-current banks. That being said, the high current banks still do provide filtration over just plugging into the wall, so you are still getting benefits there, plus the peace of mind in knowing that voltage dips and spikes won’t damage your gear. Hope this helps to answer your question.

@savdllc, yes that is helpful, thanks.

I think your 1st effort should focus on 'isolation' of both digital and analog from insidious 'ac ground noise' and 'each other'. That will give you the most improvement for your money. Enjoy.

@ptss thanks, how specifically do you suggest I do that?

Does your AV receiver perform digital processing?
