Am i missing something without a power conditioner?

@tattooedtrackman,
Here is an affordable unit you could find used on Audiogon etc, or buy new at a discounted price. Find a Core Power Technologies CPT 300 which has an attached power cord that works well and attach it to a power strip. This will give you balanced power and if you plug your front end components into it (not your amp) it will assist and give you a much quieter background yielding more details and depth to your music.
BTW; one of the power conditioners I use is the Shunyata Research Denali D2000/T.

* I have no idea why the first two website reviews arn't working?

you probably should try one.....only with the ability to return it.   I tried many, they always changed the tonality with an increase in something wrong.  You'll only hear the bugs after listening for awhile.

I second Core Power Tech units
I used a few cheaper units, names withheld as irrelevant but when I moved up to the CPT1800 it was a real eye opener.
Previously with other units I still had occasional dips in power depending on the mains supply and even sometimes when my ac kicked in.
With the CPT1800, nothing has ever dropped out since.
And I have EVERYTHING plugged into its 8 outlets, amp, tt, phono, tape deck the lot.
On previous units with the amp plugged in there was a slightly detectable softening of the music, on the CPT everything is etched as though in living colour! No I do not mean forward or bright but just completely alive and open.
The only caveat on the CPT is getting hold of one....lol

My question is with these high quality power cords do i still need a power conditioner?

Power cords do not do any power conditioning.

The best power conditioners were made by a company called Elgar. You can find them on ebay; the 3000 and 6000 series are likely the most practical for audiophiles. The 3000 series can run 28 amps continuous and so can handle some pretty large systems. Because of their age, they will likely need some service.

These conditioners are so much better than anything offered to high end audio that its really a bit of an embarrassment. At full power they can deliver a sine wave with only 0.25%THD and they can regulate line voltage without limiting current within their ratings.

Running Springs can not be beat
