BEST LINE CONDITIONER UNDER $600

I have been waiting and waiting to pick up a used Blue Circle MR 1200, but so far, nada... i am reaching the end of my patience... does anyone have other suggestions for a good power/line conditioner (new or used) in that general price range (UNDER $600). This is for AUDIO use only on a mainly ANALOG system, need at least 6 jacks, and prefer an ACTIVE unit with an ON/OFF switch. thanks to anyone with any advice.

Dave, I don't think they are on the market yet (they were at CES), however APC (American Power Conversion) who is best known for computer power supplies and backups are coming out with a line of Audio Video products. They are also going to be designing some power gear to be sold by Rotel. See attached link..

I read a little and they may top out at 900 watts. I assume though that prices might be lower than most audiophile products, but I cannot be sure.

I use Richard Gray power conditioners with excellent results, and a 400 can be found for under $600 used. That said, I also have a Transcendent Sound preamp which is excellent, so I think Bruce's power conditioner is worth considering. I agree with Salevick that Bruce designs excellent products, so please don't overlook them. You can find more information at www.transcendentsound.
