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

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

Candidly, what you can expect is a smaller bank balance. If anything, invest in installing dedicated 20 amp circuits to each outlet used to power your system. 

I would like to see a power amplifier measured for noise, distortion and slew rate when connected to a power conditioner or power regenerator. I doubt you’ll be able to find such a measurement. If the power conditioner is doing it’s stated job, noise and distortion should be lower, slew rate unchanged.

has anyone run across this type of power conditioner testing.
