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

@fundsgon , there are 2 threads, and a video. You will need to read both threads (first post) to get the full story.

 I mostly eschew tweaks and like so many find snake oil afoot.  However, when it works it works and in a very deliberate non-argumentative way.

When I installed a Decware ZLC conditioner, the POSITIVE effect was immediate; blacker background, greater separation of instruments and vocals.  It is a subtraction device.  Subtracting whatever seemed not there, but clearly was.

I sent one to a friend and he confirmed same findings, the effects as dramatic for him.  We laughed at the craziness of electricity and the hobby.

I don’t think some posters realise the benefits of power conditioners. Amps should not be plugged into the majority of power conditioners, they will limit current. Low-current-draw components can experience vast improvements in SQ mainly by filtering RFI/EMI, and reducing the noise-floor. Many are capable of isolating noise produced by digital devices so that it doesn’t contaminate the mains.

There are some conditioners that claim to accept amplifiers without limiting current such as PS Audio’s regenerators. I have no experience with these but my balanced power conditioner has increased the performance and enjoyment of listening to music.

@celtic66 , can you tell us what else is in your system and how it is connected? Do you have both a turntable and DAC?

I failed to mention that the amp should use a heavier power cable (~ 10 gauge) than sources for unrestricted power delivery to the transformer and to keep the capacitors charged.
