Power Conditioners


Gee, I'm starting to feel like a poster of posts lately, but I am finding a lot interesting, sometimes controversial, comments from the "YouTubers" these days, much more so than in the past.

There are a multitude of threads on this subject here on AG of the what's, why's, how's and when's of PC's but not many on the thoughts of having none.

I wondered what your hands-on experiences were with power conditioners and if they added something to your musical enjoyment or as in this fellows case, taken away from it?

I use a PS Audio regenerator plugged into a ZeroSurge. Both with upgraded power cords.
Happy camper.
If you want the best get the VIBEX PLATINUM i have had many this is by far the best.
Video OP links to tells story of  $9.5K Niagra 7000 making a big difference in a system.  Assuming it's true, how expensive a system do you have to have to justify spending that much on power conditioner?

Results will likely vary depending on your power and your equipment, but if one has even a $10K or $15K or $20K system??

One of the comments in YouTube video said someone had electrician run:
--a straight run from the breaker box to the hifi gear with 10awg wire
which cost him under $200.




Does anyone here have any experience with, or has heard about, the 10 outlet Torus RM20 toroidal isolation power transformer(and noise filtering, lightning and surge suppressor)?
I was strongly considering it for my home theater system and due to it's high voltage reserve current, plugging in my Model 12 monoblocks as well.

There is an RM20 balanced model which I was leaning towards. I already have 20A dedicated lines but I'd need an electrician to run a 240V dedicated line to my equipment wall to plug the RM20 into(which will step the voltage down to 120V). Balanced seems to make more sense, esp. that the Torus deals with high voltage and reserve current. Balanced will lower the noise floor even further as well.
Thanks.
Vinylshadow, the power supplies of your amplifiers are power conditioners. If you feel the need to add more power conditioning they are terrible amplifiers and you should get ones that have decent power supplies and make sure they have balanced inputs that you actually use while you are at it. Balanced interconnects running higher voltages is the best way to lower noise.
