Power conditioner or not?

This is kind of like the whole Obama mistique...people assume he(audiofeil) knows what he's talking about, but when pressed for an example of his divine knowledge, the silence is deafening. Further ruminations by or regarding Audiofeil must include detail and pertinent information..I grow weary of foolishness as well. Publicly, audiogon knows very little about my background. I speak from the heart and in the moment...behind the easy target resides a considerable degree of experience as well. Methinks audiofeil doth profess too much...state your credentials and bias or silence yourself. Only politics has room for such an inflated ego!

Let's have a show of hands folks.

Everybody who believes that only one power conditioner works in all systems and/or that power conditioning is a scam and a money making scheme by the manufacturers raise their hands. Also, and as long as we're at it, how many like Dave, believe there are 2 (he's mentioned both repeatedly) and only 2 cable manufacturers whose products work best in every system? Guaranteed by the way. Raise your hands.

OK fine.
My position is power conditioning requirements are unique to every system. The type and efficacy is determined by the combination of components, of which there are thousands of possibilities, the room itself, and the listening preferences of the user. This is very difficult to argue given the number of satisfied audiophiles. Do you know 2 people who have exactly the same system? Not likely because we all have a different combination of products which pleases us. Show of hands on this position please.

On one hand you have a very emotional and narrow minded view of the subject that an amateur has taken and on the other a rational and sensible view based on 46+ years of experience/business, knowledge, and empirical support.

Read the posts from the members holding techical degrees and/or those who work in businesses where electrical theory is germane in the work. Read the white papers of the power conditioning equipment designed by manufacturers with physics, electrical engineering, and other advanced degrees. It's not snake oil boys and girls.

So put personalities aside and ask yourself which position makes more sense.

Comments please.

Technically power conditioners are to provide 'pure' power.
I cannot understand how "the room itself" can have an impact.

Lamcam, back to the point.
I think you should experiment.
My experience has proven to me that no single company has all the goods on power conditioning-and I doubt Naim does either. I have found some conditioners can be very complementary. Good luck.

Audiofeil is lucid as always, if not a little terse. His points are all well taken and fully understood. My bias and passions have been laid bare before the altar of the almighty. Still, my 46 + years as a musician, music lover and high end enthusiast have drawn me to certain products that I (and many others both professional and amateur)have found to be the "best of the best". My scientific background has compelled me to read many a white paper as well and geuss what?....MIT has been addressing the problems of audio signal transmissions via wire for a long time. They have the science to back it up and the following of many musicians, industry professionals and reviewers worldwide. All this means nothing however if the results were not phenomenal...and they are! As for the power conditioning, I speak from many trials and errors with other brands, albeit not all that exist. Still, nothing has ever made the improvements of my MIT Z HG without getting in the way of the music. The bottom line for me is that I don't feel anyone should go out and buy by recommendation...one should simply give these products a try and decide for oneself in ones own home.
