Power Conditioning Help Please?

I recently picked up an Audio Magic Stealth - and I too was a doubter of conditioners.

Let me tell you that the difference was nothing short of staggering. Night and day.

Do a bit of research on the Audio Magic stuff - it's THAT good.

High end outlets such as any of the following written about in this review or others, (http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?raccs&1065488253&openfrom&1&4#1) would be a huge improvement. If you were to add a sub panel and three dedicated lines (one circuit breaker per line) you might find out that there is no need for a power conditioner or a power conditioner sounds even better with a dedicated line and a good quality AC outlet.

Agree with Lak the first place to start is dedicated circuits and high end AC outlets.

Good question re: budget. I try to make a habit of buying "near state of the art" gear...and always second hand to attain excellent bang for the buck. Deciding on budget for "tweak" gear like power conditioning seems a bit dicey for me. If I KNEW I'd hear considerable, positive impact, I'd be willing to lay down for something good...make sense?
