Question re: Power conditioner

These units are all system dependant. No one else knows the quality of the power coming into your home, and how it affects your system.

If the price is good enough, buy it, try it, and if it's not the answer sell it used on AudiogoN.

I say thee yea. My Monster 5100SS dropped the noise floor considerably, and allowed new details to emerge.

Like everything else in this hobby, your mileage may vary. Buy one, and if you don't like it, flip it here on A'gon.

I think that these tend to be way to expensive for what it does. Blue Circle has line pillows for 110.00 each that work better for noise. Or look at the music circles, more money but better for the price in the long run.

I use power conditioners for everything but my amps. It is very dependent on what each person "hears" but I would not think of not having them.

I'm not sure how much you would be paying for the Monster Power 7000, but if it is anything close to $500 I would skip it and get a couple of dedicated lines put in for your system (one for amps, one for sources). I think these will unquestionably give you greater benefit, never suck life out of your system, and really in most cases can be installed for $500 or less. Once you have the dedicated lines, plug your equipment straight into the wall (no power strips!).
