How many power conditioners do you own and use?


Yes,I stole this from a past "How many amps" thread. I'm talking about in use all the time pc's.

To start with I have a Pioneer Elite rptv in the front of the room--AM Stealth

A Sharp overhead projector in the rear.--CFX

My CJ 5's mono blocks are so hungry;nothing else can be on the same line or pc --AM Stealth

Amp for the rears-White Labs-takes more power than a single CJ and a 400 wt Eagle 4 for the center--Chang 1,000

For the front end, TT vpi- LD/CD Theta- DVD, Pan pro scan, dac- Theta-- Custom Power Cord Co 4 rec. device Piggybacked for the elite rptv a Monster AVS 2000,

Also 2 sat boxes,1 reg 1 HD /Purcell up sampler/ Active sheilding box from SR/ 2 box processor for DD DTDS/ 2 vcr's/ Cat 3 The PC.

retail of all 6 is over 10k--Over kill??

I use a Tice Signature Power Block IIIC HP with my main system source components and amps. It's built like a tank, and I like the fact that it has two plugs so I can source from two different wall sockets if need be. It can support the draw of my two 500 watt monoblocks. I liked its build quality so much that I bought a Tice Solo High Current (also built like a rock) to support my subwoofers and video equipment at the other end of the room. Try as I might, I can't audibly identify the benefits of the Tice TPT treatment, however.

I use an Audio Power Industries PowerPack II with my Sunroom System, which doesn't have high current requirements. I use a Panamax Max 1000+ and an Isotel 4-socket unit with my Library system, which includes a smallish TV. The Panamax doesn't approach the build quality of the Tices or API. The Isotel supports the TV and CATV box. I use a Radio Shack power strip with my Bedroom system, where I don't do any critical listening.

Sorry for rambling. I'm sure this is more than you want to know.
george: so i think perhaps you need to drop the "av" part of your moniker. in answer to your question: zero.

Many audio designers I've spoken to DO NOT recommend power conditioners. Good power supplies inherent in quality gear and decent cords to filter out airborn nasties are more than sufficient. Save the money on power conditioners and spend it on music and live concerts.
