To condition or not ?

I believe you have to experiment and use the method that sounds best to you unless you live in an area that receives regular lighting strikes etc. I have experimented with various power conditioners; sometimes the power conditions negatively affect the sound of some audio components.

You’re correct; they contradict themselves in the space of one paragraph. I see no reason why any of the named devices could do damage. Some might affect sound quality up or down, but that’s about it. And nothing protects against a direct lightning strike . Anything on an affected AC line would be toast.

There's only one concern with the motor-33.3 speed consistency, which ALL tables suffer from. Some more than others.

Get one of these for REAL TIME speed monitoring.

Eclipse Roadrunner – Sota Turntables

I put my turntable on a separate conditioner given that the motor is fairly noisy.

Plug the motor pod into a mains plug. We suggest omitting mains conditioners , filters or anything with surge protection as these can be highly detrimental for performance

I call BS or poor power supply engineering and/or virtue signaling.

Unless, of course, most power conditioners out there suck.... :D

But the current requirements of that turntable are going to be so minute that a fully regulated supply with an excellent reserve should overcome ANY issues with power conditioners. Why do they think the outside power is going to be much better?

Maybe I should sell a power supply upgrade.... :D

Last, if you live where I live you would never plug anything into the wall without a surge protector.

I put my turntable on a separate conditioner given that the motor is fairly noisy.

Now that’s an idea I support.  I use multiple Furman conditioners and keep the noisy things like TV and Ethernet devices on one, amp/dac on another.
