What should I expect after installing a new power management system?

I agree with @raysmtb1. And before you bother, why don’t you audit (or have a good electrician audit) your electrical system, starting from the service entrance. You can’t pull the meter though the power company can. Look at what Fremer went through when he had problems with a Generac installation- they found corroded contacts at the meter and all sorts of other stuff.

I haven’t used a power conditioner in a long time, so my experience with the latest crop is nil. I do have a very good power system, though and spent money on it to get it right. Frankly, the infrastructure where I’m at now is far better than what we had in NY and I probably could have skipped the big iso-transformer. But my speakers are 104db and you can hear every gremlin if it is there. I’m always worried that filtering is going to throw baby out with bath water.  I know that some folks like the effect of conditioning, but no one’s situation is exactly the same. Is this a new location for you? I went through this when I moved from NY to Texas.

My house was built in the 50s with mostly ungrounded circuits.  When appliances or the community well next door kick on, lights dim.  Early on, I ran power up from the basement so there was no noise when the refrigerator cycled on.  A used PS AUDIO regenerator cured all these ills.  My tube integrated , Rogue Cronus Magnum II, is silent, and after a year the bias on the tubes had not moved a bit.  I’m a believer for those with terrible AC.  Les expensive than an electrician and dedicated circuits.

To paraphrase the hippocratic oath, do no harm.  A power system that limits spike current will kill your systems ability to respond to dynamics, especially on bass.  I don't use a system.  I do use very heavy (10awg) power cords.

Power cords are simple.  they are big pipes for current.

Power conditioners are a differnt animal. they all have inductive loads that resist voltage and current changes.  It surprises me that high end systems can be designed that limit current.  Just make sure you choose one that does no harm.

Don’t waste your money or time! Snake oil! But, If you are going to get one,

don’t forget to buy a $5k fuse and $20,000 cables.

I’m looking at the transparent Power conditioners they seem to be the no limiting type and don’t add all those stupid capacitors which to me seems really dumb to do. I mean why would you want to put a mini amplifier into a power conditioner, who knows what the heck happens to electron flow within all these cylindrical electrical doodads.

Most peoples amps offer the ability to handle demands as needed. The audio quest Niagara box has got to be one of the most ridiculous Power conditioners I have ever seen. Add the PS audio reconditioners add volume as you pass current through this box, what the hell is all that about?

And the synergistic conditioner is also a very complicated box and doesn't provide surge protection. It says clearly in the spec area to disconnect it during electrical storms. So if I'm out to dinner I have to run home. Utterly insane
