Power Line Conditioners

I have a Panamax 1000. Just Recently bought a used Bybee Signature. 4 digital and 4 analog outlets.Still burning it in. The Panamax worked great. Don't put your amp through it. It limits dynamics!!The music sounds better when the amp is in the wall outlet. The PS Audio conditioners are great but run hot, have a hum and only have 4 outlets. Look around for used Bybee, Chang lightspeed,VansEvers,etc. Good luck

The Panamax 1000 is NOT a line conditioner. I tis only a surge protector. If you want a huge difference for less money, try the Monster Cable HTS 1000 or 2000 power line conditioner. It is a true line conditioner as well as a surge protector. 90-95% of all amps should be plugged directly into the wall. To help them try an Audioprism Quiet Lines; they run in parallel.

The quality of the power coming from the PANAMAX is sometimes worse than what went into it. I measured it a couple of years ago and got rid of mine. Just because something is recommended in StereoShill doesn't mean it's any good. If you have a closet (To cover the noise) get a Hospital grade line conditioner. They're as good as if not better than any Audiophile unit and at a fraction of the price.

The PS Audio P300's four outlets are really intended for "line-level" components only (e.g., CD transport, DAC, preamp). It's not a line conditioner, but a "power regenerator." Yes, mine runs hot (it's essentially a 150 wpc amp, after all), but doesn't hum, and its effect on system performance has been to transform cardboard images into palpable performers and instruments.

Unless you have excessive or unusual noise I wouldn't use a pc, my suggestion is to go with quality aftermarket cords like BMI here at audiogon if possible. Also critical are dedicated lines for all your equipment - that can make a huge difference.
