Do any power conditioners actually store the energy from the outlet/power company and then generate it on demand or do they all filter the current as it is coming through?
What you are referring to is called a "power supply smoothing capacitor" and every amplifier already has one (or more) in it :-) You do not need a power conditioner for that function :-)
Good correction: Farads, millifarads, microfarads. A Farad is quite a large amount of energy storage capacity. For example, my current power amp has 108,000 uF, or 108 Farads. A lot of storage and smoothing for a D.C. power supply.
“Do any power conditioners actually store the energy from the outlet/power company and then generate it on demand ” I think this is called a battery. but then you would also need an inverter to transform the DC current back into AC if you want to plug-in big stuff like amplifiers. better yet, you can run some components like dacs directly from the DC current and completely isolate them from the grid without too much battery power. Anything that runs off a wall wart take power supply is a candidate for a DC power from the battery.
”Now if I can only get a silver face plate for it” A can of silver spray paint should do the job. :-)
Knowing very little regarding power conditioners... they improve sound but do they protect equipment should a power surge occur or are they possibly damaged as well? Appreciate your input regarding the above mentioned Decware
