Power Conditioners

after you get one to try,.....a week later, remove it and listen.    I dumped lots of them after hearing that the best one is none.

I tried three different models and I couldn’t hear a difference. The only thing I do here occasionally is laughter from my electrician, that I asked if these things made a difference.

there is a lot of snake oil in this category

I remember the Shunyata Hydra’s “7 element Venom Filter”

= 1 Littlefuse TMOV20R130E metal oxide varistor + a 70 cent capacitor soldered across each AC socket

not bad for a power strip they sold for $1995 - roll your own for $120 - $250 with premium outlets. I personally feel that varistors screw up the sound (squash dynamics) and that the protection they afford is not worth the degraded sonics.

and the beat goes on, la de da de da…

electricians believe the universe begins and ends with ohms law.

would you ask yours to design your amplifier?
