After market PC's to Power Conditioners


Wondering if any one else notices this, or is it unique to my Power conditioner, which is a Tice PowerBlock III C.
After market Power cords I have used sound better plugged into the wall rather than the PowerBlock. And thats not a knock on the PowerBlock , becuase most stock or upgraded but non filtered cords , into the Tice ,are comparable to after market PC's plugged straight into the Outlet. Just wondering as a rule of thumb, should an after market PC be plugged into the outlet rather than a Power Conditioner because perhaps the filters Clash ? Also as a side note whats a great after market PC for a Classe 401 and a Vel HGS 12 .........either going into the Tice or into a dedicated outlet. Regards, The Transporter.

There is no power cord that can do what a power conditioner can. Everything being equal, of course. I would suggest dedicated lines, with dedicated power conditioners (or power conditioners, like the Audio Magic Ecipse/uses two power cords, believe it or no,for isolation))to isolate your digital and analog. On down the longer road, after some serious listening, you can move to power cord upgrades. That will further your electric. There's tons of stuff in the archives about this. Power conditioning and power cords are significant components in a system. peace, warren
