Help me choose a power conditioner, please

My Adcom ACE-515 just passed away. I have a Monster Cable HTS 5000 that is making noise and has lost power to some outlets, so I fear its days are numbered. I listen to two chanel, mostly vinyl (Rega), Rotel amps bridged to mono block, Marsh pre amp. My budget is LOW, thinking about the BPT CPC at $254.00 new or Tripp Lite LCR 2400 at $300.00. I live not too far from power lines and the power to my home is not so good I fear. Thanks in advance.

Furutech e-TP80 & BPT CPC in one accurate review. Deepsix that Monster before it takes something down with it. You should also take a look at the Powervar units the 12amp models sell here for under $250US and are sufficient to power a 200Wx7 amp without restriction, or the rest of your components.

As always, whatever you try after three weeks remove it. My guess is that you will then sell the power conditioner. I have sent back or sold all 48 conditioner I have tried. I use none. I also use no surge protection either, but my local utility seems to have quite stable voltage and few surges.

Check out APC

Cheap but respected by business and IT sectors of the market. Less well known (respected) in the boutique world of hi-fi.
