I recently added the Equitech (balanced power) 5wq wall panel which is a subpanel from my main power supplying juice to two pre-existing dedicated circuits in my 2ch system and four in my separate HT system. The reason I went with the wall panel is that I was going to add one additional power conditioner to each systems, thus the cost was the same and I have the capability of having balanced power to ten separate outlets. I also debated getting BPT conditioners, additional Hydras, etc. Equitech sent the hand built unit to my home on a dolly (350 lbs.) I had to find an electrician who felt comfortable installing the unit (it took most of a day.) The unit is mounted on the wall next to my main panel, located in the laundry room. Like I said, I already had dedicated outlets and Hydra conditioners. Equitech conditioner to my surprise significantly cleared my system even further with lowering of noise floor, better articulation of the bass, etc. the difference was more dramatic for video than audio.
Balanced Power Conditioner, need suggestions...
I currently have a BPT 2 conditioner (on dedicated line w/ upgraded outlet) that accomodates most of my system; amp, preamp, cd player, rptv & line doubler. The addition of the balanced power unit has made the most pronounced impact on the video side. My tv PQ has never been better. On the audio side the improvements are more subtle, more extended bass and quiter background. Overall, very happy with this selection.
My question, I have a dvd player, vcr and satellite receiver that are not in close enough proximity to use the bpt conditioner & are plugged into an inexpensive monster strip. This is not on a dedicated line, but has an upgraded outlet (a porter hubbel). Given the improvements I have already achieved with the bpt, will there be any additional benefit to do the following:
1. add a bpt cpc or ps audio power strip with an extended PC (2.5m) and plug it into the bpt?
2. get a cpc w/ a tranformer or small equitech conditioner for these three devices & plug directly into the wall?
3. leave it alone with the likely improvements being too incremental to be worth it?
Any recommendations or additional suggestions.
thank you.
