Who has dumped the power conditioner?

Hello,
I recently replaced my mains conditioner, with a high quality power strip.(Oyaide MG).

The sound is now more detailed, dynamics I didn't know I was missing are back, and air and separation have all improved.
I am interested if anyone else has gone back to basics?
Cheers

Shaunp,
That's a shame because all power conditioners are not created equal. Even dedicated lines can benefit from well designed power conditioners. Some filtration components sold as power conditioners don't deliver quality power.

Plelko, perhaps this is true. I am one for 48 in such devices, however.

I am waiting on a MIT Z Duplex Super which I will add to one of my Dedicated 20amp lines and see if it makes a difference.I am hoping it will not limit or color the sound.plus peace of mind that my system is protected.

Tbg,
You are right, to address the residual noise present on a dedicated requires a conditioner whose output is quieter than that of the dedicated line. Conditioners capable of this are, indeed, rare and truly special, but they do exist.

Most of the power conditioning is a pile of hogwash. Another way to extract money from impressionable audiophiles. If there seems to be market for something there is always an entrepreneur who will have a crack at it.
