Who has dumped the power conditioner?

I started using and Audience Adept Response-6 a few months ago. I like the sound so much I haven't taken it out of the system. Perhaps I will do so just to verify that my initial impressions were valid.

I agree the Adept Response is good

sometimes any change sounds good - for a while til you get the itch, such is our hobby

I use Exact Power EP15A's conditioner/regenerator with excellent results. My A/V system has a PS Audio Quintessence which helps the picture quality but when I tried it in the audio system the sound was choked.

that's what I like about Torus,they don't choke off the amps.
They give the amps what they want, way more amperage than the wall can give especially as music is so dynamic.
I have used a few conditioners moster,Shunyata ect.The Torus I find is way ahead of anything I have tried.
Definately keepers and you hardly see them for sale on here or any other site,if you do they are the lower amperage type for smaller systems and they are pricey.
For what they do for your music,definately worth the price,
for me anyway,Huge upgrade.

SME10,
I have been a loooong time power conditioner disbeliever. For years I have used dedicated circuits in lue of an AC line conditioner. Recently I did a shootout between several line conditioners at the insistence of my dealer.

Most of the line conditioners I auditioned made the sound smoother or what some would consider more musical. Unfortunately they also made my system sound less dynamic and a few made the sound darker and more closed in.

The two conditioners that really shined were the Audience Adept Response and the Synergistic Research PowerCell. In the end I went with the SR PowerCell because it made my system MORE dynamic then the direct wall connection. Surprisingly this was achieve with greater detail and air and a much larger soundstage. I recommend anyone audition several conditioners before making a final decision. My findings could be tainted due to the presence of all Tesla cables and power cords. In the end, and in my system, it was really no contest- the PowerCell decoupled the sound from my speakers in a fundamental way that I have never heard from any line conditioner and compared to three 20 amp dedicated lines. No kidding.

PS. My entire system including amps are plugged into the PowerCell.
