Turntables and power conditioners?


I've always used my turntables without power conditioners.
I have two 20 amp dedicated AC wall units I'm using.
Any comments on this please.

You don't need them. A purpose built controller for your specific turntable is a big plus, however.
I'm currently using a VIZ Isotap II WP-27A which is an isolated tranformer and also starts putting out voltage at 25 VAC and goes up to 150 VAC in 5 volt intervals with my Technics 1200 Mk 2 turntable. I do this so the Technics will get exactly 120 VAC as there are power issues where I live. The voltage from the wall can spike up to 127 volts and goes down to 118.

So far I think I have a lower noise floor with Technics plugged into the Viz Isotap. These Isotaps can be found for under $50 sometimes.
I have an SME 10/V arm combo,the power cord is a Shunyata Annaconda Helix going into a Shunyata 8 on a dedicated 20 amp line for the front end components.

THis is much better than when I ran a stock power cord, then a cheaper upgraded PC. The Hydra is the icing on the cake.

I would suggest you try upgrading your power cord then try a conditioner,as opposed to trying a power conditioner with your TT stock power cord.

The stock power cord is the bottleneck, and my take (after non dedicated lines)on why power conditioners don't get much respect.
I find that good power cords are a great asset, power conditioners a liability
