Best kept secret in AC line filtering conditioning

I don't know enough about electrical/electronic engineering to look at the inner workings of a unit and know what's going on there, but there are plenty of photos of the 156 on-line.

All I know is this.  A while ago I tried a range of power conditioning products in-home, ranging from around $500 to $3500.  Ten or twelve in all.  Most of them just sat there, didn't notice anything with them in or out of the system.  Amps (monoblocks) were always plugged into them, when those kinds of outlets were available.  A couple of them added their own physical hum to the mix.  The only unit that immediately, audibly, improved the overall sonic presentation was the 156.

The one other product that I would have liked to have tried, but didn't, is the Inakustik 3500.  One member here (wig) had both, and kept the Puritan.

It's pretty simple: find a dealer that will let you try it at home, and give it an audition.  If you don't like it, or it does nothing for you, send it back.

There are plenty of products promoted on this site about which I am deeply skeptical.  But this one, in my own, personal, subjective experience, worked, and worked well. That is all.

The Puritan 156 definitely gets good reviews. Mikey Powell(OCD HiFiGuy) on YouTube will send you one to try out. He offered me 1 but I went with PI Audio’s UberBuss. With upgrades still less than the Puritan.

I have owned some good quality power conditioners over the years and none of them even comes close to the Puritan which allows you to hear much further into the recording, revealing more ambiance/spatial information, decay, note sustainment with extremely low floor noise...

ZERO power restrictions and everything sounds better plugged in the Puritan unless the equipment you own has its own power filtering capabilities, recommend plugging those components directly into the wall as they can cause the transformers to buzz with additional built-in filtering.

Here are the conditioners I can remember owning but know there are at least 4 more but can't remember:

- Torus CS15

- Shunyata Hydra

- Audience AR6 TS

- Running Spring Jaco

- Core Power (Highly modified with Furutech and rewired)

- Core Power Deep Core

- Inakustik 3500P

- Puritan PSM136

- Puritan PSM156

@wig - thanks for confirming my decision to upgrade to the Puritan 136. Just curious - what components have over filtering capabilities?

@ sokogear

In my case, the Jay's Audio CD Transport had to be plugged directly into the wall due to its internal filtering.
