Power Conditioner question

I would think that companies who make power conditioners design them using their own cabling.

I currently have a Synergistic Research PowerCell 8 UEF. Wondering if a move to Transparent Reference Power Isolator would yield any benefit. 

Ooh.  Not sure I’d do that unless you’re looking to change the sound signature toward the warmer, smoother side.  Plus, Synergistic makes pretty darn good power cords that I’m sure, uh, synergize. 

The laws of synergy are greater than the laws of electricity. At least that’s what I can’t hear told me

Ya if you want to throw a blanket over your whole system then go for it! And cables with boxes on them are not the final word in dynamics and detail. The day I switched from MIT’s to Nordost SPM my system went from speakers playing beautiful music to live instruments in my listening room.

Yes the electrons look at the tag before entering the line.  Sorry, the devil made me do that. 

On a more serious note, be careful with power conditioners, many limit the current to the amp, sure it  is clean current, but it is limited, and severely inhibits an amp.  They rate them at 1500 watts.   We use 10ga power cords which are good for 30 amps or 3600 watts because you have to accommodate the spikes.

I recently powered a 10 wpc amp with a handy 14 ga power cable.  14ga is good for 15 amps or 2250 watts.  I was disappointed with the bass.  Switched to a 10 ga cable and voila, bass was back.   so be careful.
