Just ordered the hts2000 from Globe-Mart for $125. Too bad shipping here to Canada is an addt'l $30. Still way ahead taking into account exchange as well as the list price here in Calgary, Alberta is $469 (cdn) and this one should cost about $250 (cdn) delivered. See how us poor canucks take it up the ass every time.... As a side note, I am not sure how my Bryston amp will now behave as Bryston recommends not using one of these type products. If it degrades the sound I am not sure what I can use (thats cheap) to protect the amp from surges & spikes?????
Bargain power conditioners
Does anyone have any experience using a power conditioner made for computers (ie: the APC Line R 600 which cost around $150) with a high end audio system (front end). It seems to me that these might provide a similar level of protection and enhancement for a fraction of the cost of an 'audiophile power conditioner'. Thanks.
