Who has dumped the power conditioner?

After I installed 3 dedicated, 10 ga lines to my equipment with Teslaplex outlets, the Shunyata Hydra power conditioner was no longer needed. Sounded better without it. I was gona put it up for sale on this site but decided to try it on my big screen and surround and the wow factor was there so I kept it.

Also have gone to dedicated lines. My Tice is now in my video system where it improved the picture of my 50" plasma.

I have never had good luck with power conditioners...they all have made the system sound worse in some way.... They all make the system sound different, but not really better. The worst of them on my system was Richard Gray. I am using a whole house conditioner though that has no ill effect that I could hear, and makes the system ever so slightly better. It is installed in the power panel.

I gotta believe they all impart something to the sound. The more polluted your environment, the more you might like one (lesser of two evils). I just had my AC line analized. In my worst room with a computer and dimmer on, I had between 1.5 and 2.3% harmonic distortion. Not too bad, I've heard of 8-10%.

Anybody try out the Furutech Power Distributors (not conditioner)? I need more outlets and I've had one for about a week. Initially, slight downgrade but today pretty good. I wouldn't believe they would need to break in other than a day or two but the dealer is suggesting a couple weeks. So far, he seems right.

Just sold my Furman IT-Reference 20i. Like many of you, I had relegated it to HT-only duty after I installed dedicated lines and Teslaplex receptacles (and a Shakti Stone or two along the path between the panel and the receptacles).

I finally decided to sell it to partially fund recent purchases of SR Tesla cables.

I would like to try the SR Powercell SE sometime in the future. Several of my friends have one in their mega-buck systems and they seem to feel it is the best upgrade they have made in years.
