Power conditioners


I just came across a new product made by Belkin as a power conditioner called pure A/V and want to know if anyone has any experience with the power conditioner? I heard of Monster conditioners but also heard they were not that good in sound by robbing the dynamics. JIM

Mr_bill, that model is not on their web site but they can make you one. A Dealer that does sell the Audio Magnum power conditioner is http://www.musicaldesign.com Just click on Accessories when you go on their web site
Re the comment on Monster Power power conditioners (from Monster Cable), I've owned two of them, and am currently using their HTS 5100 in my main audio system. It works superbly, does exactly what it's supposed to do, and does not compress dynamic range. It's also affordable. An excellent, well-designed product.
PureAV is a line of products which, of course, have varying features and capabilities. Which model are you referring to and what AC problems do you need to deal with?

I was interested in the pf60 to get blacker background and more detail by cleaning up the A.C but found out that this unit will improve VIDEO but did nothing for AUDIO.
I recently purchased the Belkin PureAV Home Theater Power Console PF60, and I am amazed with the improvement in clarity and imaging in CD playback. I can only attribute this to the isolation provided my (Rotel RCD1072) CD player through the dedicated 'phase 6' digital filters. Perhaps the cleaner power and filtration also helps my tube preamp (Paul Grzybek's wonderful TAD-150) to some degree as well, which is now also using the PF60 and is now on its own dedicated analog power filter as well. (I am not running the power amps through the Pure AV unit.)
I will add that the PF60 is a solidly built unit, it looks reasonably attractive, has lots of features (many of which I am not likely to ever use), and I particularly like that you can dim the PF60 unit's display down to 'barely on' so that it can become somewhat unobtrusive... - Rick Azaroff.
