I R a owner. Have been for 'round 2 years. I had been thrugh a lot of bucks worth of conditioners in the past 15 years.---"Its characteristcs"???---Just improvement in all areas---I don't wonder why it's hard to select a conditioner.--Just about everybody's blurb reads the same---Yaddi/ya---I guess I'm more adventuresome than you---I had a recommendation from a friend and just bought one full pop, local, with no exchange privledge---unheard.---This imo is a whole system conditioner. I have so much stuff plugged in to it.It has 12 outlets.--It improves anything plugged into it. Used this way it makes a tv's pq better. This isn't subjective;it's there for all to see. The audio matches the video performance in every way. There was a used one at a good used-savings.--Jump in--get wet.--BTW, I live in a 94 unit complex,which may be why it works so well for me. I know we have posters whom believe an aftermarket power chord is a waste so a conditioner in this price range opens one up for lots of criticism. I figure someone whom has worked their way up the conditioner ladder would appreciate this piece---Then have the equipment and ears to realize its benefits.
