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 have one. It's a dedicated 220V line with a step down toroidal transformer to 110V with balanced poles and 4 separate filters (each for 4 lines--analog, digital, projection TV, and amps). It's simple, cost effective, and gets the job done.

None. Maybe because when we moved in here almost 14 years ago the power company asked if it was OK if they ran a new line from the pole underground to the house. I was upgrading the fuse box to breakers at the time & the only additional expense was a new meter. I hear no audible noise from the system at all at idle. All the wall outlets are in phase & grounded.

Driver is lucky that he apparently was able to supervise the installation of the line running from the pole to his house. I can't even supervise the cable TV guys who come in; after they've left, nothing turns on or records and the picture on the TV is tinged w/red. As for power conditioners, I use one on each of my audio systems (Ensemble Isolink and Power Point on my big system, amp directly into the wall; PS Audio 300 on my small system, amp directly into the wall) but none on my TV system, since I never do any real audio listening in there. But from the posts here, it seems I should rethink that and maybe get a conditioner for the TV set at least. Any recommendations?
