calling all audiophiles


Is it ok to connect an amplier straight to the wall? I thought it sound better without the monster HTS 2000 power conditioner, I just dont know if it is wise to do this. Any feedback or recommendation would be appreciated.

My amp is a parasound 2205.

I am also a member of the wall pluggers club of America, if it spikes its insured, other wise it is one less thing in the way of my over priced outlets ;)

i've tried and tried to plug my amp directly into the wall but, so far, i get a "power on" indication only when i find, by trial and error, an outlet box. -cfb
I second the notion that surge protection is one issue and power "conditioning" is another. IMHO, believe your ears! And, when in doubt, have a friend help you with a blind test and then spend more money on music! Charlie
I have the HTS 2000 also. It's surprisingly good for everything but the power amp. Plug it into the wall.
Yeah, things have to have a 'USA' name brand (even if it's made in China or Mexico) for you guys to buy...

What's so wrong with Yugoslavian gear? I've been to several sites and those guys *do* know their audio. Now it's a good time to buy because they're working on establishing a name for themselves in the audio market.

De Zorel is working at this time on closing a deal with a US importer. The guys at TNT Audio went on a frenzy about the DeZorel's. Even Hans-Martin (Germany) is buying one. But, they're from Europe--what do they know???

As for line conditioners, I own a Tice. But the De Zorel audiophile model *is* on my upgrade list.
