power conditioner

gbprint6559,

I've had good results with a used PS Audio Power Plant, acquired, cheap here on Agon. Its however,argued to death like cables and everything else,whether or not its beneficial.

I go against the grain and hook EVERYTHING including amp, to it with noticeable improvement. Even the plasma TV looks great on movie nights.
Purchased about 3 years ago, trouble free. 

A PP Premier or P3 can be found cheap with a little effort. If it doesn't work out, easy to resell.

no, you are going WITH the grain & have eliminated ground loops

randy-11,

I read many threads guys claiming that plugging their amp into anything other than the wall outlet "sucks the life out of it" whatever that means?

Otherwise yeah, the PP is a "magic box"

Thank goodness, I've never had one of those annoying hum/noise issues.

I have tried my bat power amp plugged into my power conditioner and direct into wall outlet....buggered if I could tell any difference so it stays in the conditioner.

Where everything else is plugged in, including the internet switch, plasma tv, etc etc

Balanced power recommendations are certainly worth entertaining assuming the OPs specification of "reasonable cost" extends to $2500 and beyond.
