Monster Regret!!


Good morning to the community!  Years ago, when I was much younger and a whole lot dumber, I bought into all the Monster cable hype.  I even went as far as purchasing their Monster Power AVS 2000 voltage stabilizer and HTS 5000 reference power center.  I’m currently saving my ducats for a PS Audio DirectStream Power Plant 15 and intend to install a dedicated line shortly. 

I am listening to Martin Logan 11As driven by PS Audio BHK 300 monoblocks.  I have the amps connected via a normal 120v home outlet.  My question, should I use the Monster Power stuff for my speakers, pre/pro, etc. or go to another outlet directly to the components? 

 

Many thanks!

suggest you post in the PS Audio website community....someone will have an answer

I bought into all the Monster cable hype. I even went as far as purchasing their Monster Power AVS 2000 voltage stabilizer and HTS 5000 reference power center.

Why is it hype? Is there something wrong with the product? It maintains 120 VAC has surge protection, and a singles PS cable is taking care of ground loop issues, with multi outlets that are protected....

I'm sure a lot of  monster cables are just fine.. Speaker IC.. You might want to look around a bit..

I'm all for what sounds better, but cost the least.. MC said it, try it both ways, but "just because", someone else said PS  make everything better (sound) you may be in for a surprised... it should sound the same.
If they are both doing their jobs.. 

If you were using products with crappy power supplies, (not yours),
PS or even the lowly monster product, would show a marked improvement, bottom to top... That has been my experience over and over and over...

I'm a safety first, protect second, THEN, sound..
A lot of folks will disagree, but their not retired mechanics either...

EX: Mac.... Crappy little PC on any of their old Valve amps, if you replace it with anything other than what they use.. It's a waste of money.

Why, excellent Power supply design...

I wish you well, enjoy the learning curve..Spendy, though.
