Hi-Fi Power Conditioner ?


Guys,

I ready to dump my Panamax line conditioner for a real PC and need some pointers on which one to buy? $2K is definitely out of the question, this will be used for my Belles 150A Ref Amp, Tube pre, Dac, Transport, Plasma, DVD and VCR. Used is a good option.

Thanks,

what price range is in question? i picked up a used bpt 3.5 signature for $1300 and it's made more of an impact on my systems noise floor than any other power conditioner (monster, panamax, exactpower) i've tried in the past.
PS Power Plant Premier, used between $ 1.2 and 1.5 I would guess. A little advantage on the side, you can loop the antenna through as well.

Attention if you intend to leave everything switched on at the same time: check the overall power requirements in particular the plasma in order not to risk revving up the ventilator of the PPP repeatedly (I noticed this is what MAY happen in my system when I activate amp, preamp, cdp, lcd, bluray and dvd at the same time - standby is not an issue though)

Good luck
Power Plant Premier by PS Audio is magical. ($2,100 list...less at Underwood hi fi.) If you can't do that, a close second would be the Quintet conditioner. (List $695.) Both make a HUGE differernce over the Panamax! You'll be amazed!
I have an APC S-15 which also has battery backup and it's truly amazing. I have terrible power from the grid, lot's of surges, brown outs and fluctuations in power and this really levels everything out. It made a much bigger difference than anything else I used including Monster Power, Richard Gray or Panamax.
