Power Conditioners


Does anyone have opinions about the outrageous claims of the power condioner makers of improving the quality of the sound and picture to the levels they claim. Any preferences from the makers: Tice,Equi=tech,Cinepro,Suntaya, Bybee, ExactPower? or any others for that matter? Thanks.

My Tara AD/10B Power Filter is outstanding and I would not consider parting with it. Like many other brands, it uses balanced AC power (+60v to -60v) which virtually eliminates common mode noise from the ground. It also has a GFI for additional protection. Search this forum, as there are many here who own power filters and consider them mandatory for their systems. You will also get helpful advice on the many different models out there.
I Bought a CHANG LIGHTSPEED 9600.
I did my Research and Tried several others out there.
Chang is Competitively Priced, made the Biggest Difference, and Very Well Built Product! Also, you need to consider upgrading Power Cords, if you haven't already.
I have Definitely Heard a Difference in MY system since its Purchase. Through Filtering (for EMI and RFI), GOOD Line Conditioners DUE Lower the Noise Floor and allow your system to go Another Level Up. And With a Lower Noise Floor (Grundge), you WILL Hear More Detail and a Blacker Background. I Recommend Staying AWAY from Conditioners that USE Transformers. A Good Line Conditioner WILL make a Difference in ANY system. Try Different ones (Comparison Demo) and see which one makes the Biggest Difference in Your system (different ones due different things)! Good Luck.
The cinepro really made a big difference. The noise floor was lowered considerably. Also the music seemed to have more impact. Large storage capacity, 1.5 Kva, on the ten amp model. My friend and I both bought one after doing a listening test that lasted about, well we had barely enough time to turn around.
