Power conditioner or not?


I am confused! Per Naim's recommendations, no power conditioner needed. I have a Naim system, what do you think?

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.

Bryston manuals say the same. That is the way it should be in a good product. However, with switched mode power supplies common these days and therefore dirty power not uncommon - not all components live up to this promise...perhaps power from the utility is sometimes completely out of tolerance too. Whatever the cause, power conditioning sometimes helps - in a perfect well world it probably shouldn't be necessary at all...try it and see if you can hear a difference - however make sure it can handle the instantaneous current requirements for your power amp (as generally it is not recommended to restrict the supply to your high powered gear - some stuff is designed to work with power amps).
Dave_b> You write with great passion about what you feel is best.I'm glad you found nirvana in your cables (at least someone has)However to say you have the best because of comparisons you have made and that you have a scientific background is like saying I can race car's at Indy because I have been driving fast on highways for many years.
What I have learned is that "there is no best of anything"
What works for one may not work for another.For those who choose to spend five figures on cables,fine.For those who feel they can do it for less (given a comparable system) also fine.
If you look at other members posted higher end systems I'm sure the majority would disagree with you.If they did agree they would be using the same cabling that you have.
Be thankful that you have put together a system that you feel is the best for in the end isnt that the only thing that counts.
