Who has dumped the power conditioner?

I've got to weigh in on the Powercell 10SE as I purchased one two months ago and feel that I have now passed the "I liked it at first but took it out because it..." phase (which occured with the Furman IT-Reference 20i I sold a while back).

Absolutely phenomenal. I run my entire 2 channel system (including my Krell FPB600C) and all my HT equipment through it and the improved dynamics, dead-quite noisefloor, and cavernous soundstage continue to blow me away with every listen. The picture on my plasma TV was vastly improved as well.

Just can't say enough good things about the Powercell. I think that SR should have not branded it as a power conditioner since it is really entirely different in concept, design and performance than the others.

turboglo,

who did your dedicated line for you? I'm out in portland as well.

Dlcockrum, I agree. I have had some 40 ac power conditioners and have always said the ultimate test is whether after breakin, the music is better once you have removed it. Most fail this test. The SR PowerCell SE certainly did, but more importantly I really missed the realism of the soundstage after it was out.

Tbg... wouldn't you mean it didn't fail? or it did fail?

I just want to add that I have owned two conditioners from different companies with mixed results. One constant remained...they both seemed to soften the presentation somehow-like rounding the edges ( the softening happened at the frequency extremes). I have no idea why this seems to happen with so many conditioners. The only other thing I can I add is that I got better base out of one of them, perhaps due to a lower noise floor. would like to hear others with similar experience.
