Has a Power Conditioner Improved Your Sound?

I had a PS Audio- MEH

Love my Core Power 1800 - their newest is quite reasonably priced

Any further update on your experience with Power Conditioners? 

@lalitk

Since the weather is no longer stuck in the 90s my system has sound wonderful. Plus I believe all my new components are now settling in. So I decided to turn my focus to upgrading my XLR Interconnects and Speaker cables. Check my thread on my audition of DH Labs vs Shunyata. I love what the DH Labs have done to my system

Also trying the several Stack Audio products. I plan to report on a my experiences on a future thread. So for now I’ve put power conditioning on the back burner.

Thank you for the update. I willl check out the cable thread and look forward to your findings on Stack Audio. Among other things, their isolation footers caught my attention. It’s ok to wait on PC but know this, clean power is fundamental to your audio system optimal performance. 

It's tough to say whether a power conditioner will make an impact in a different system, and if so how big that impact might be. Over the years I've lived in several homes and each one reacted differently to power conditioners - in some cases it made a drastic improvement, in other cases little or no difference.

Beyond that, I've even had different houses which reacted better to different types of power conditioning. One home did best with regenerated power (I used PurePower but PS Audio made conceptually similar models at the time), another liked the more straight forward filtering types (Audience, Puritan Labs), and my current home favors balanced power (Bryston, Furman, Equitech). 

Unfortunately that means the answer likely involves trying things for yourself and seeing what works in your home.
