Here is a link to more discussion on this topic. There is much talk about one particular product, but worth a read nevertheless.

Last month I filled out the on-line questionnaire at the Richard Gray web site and got this response.

OUR RECOMMENDATIONS:
Since you have four dedicated AC circuits, then you will want to include all components on the RGPC parallel enhancement by placing one RGPC 400 on each circuit. Were you able to place all of your components then all you would need for your system is just one RGPC 600S. Dedicated lines work well, but their importance in our opinion is over stated by many. Since you share your electricity with your neighbors, all of whom are robbing your home of sufficient current to drive you equipment to their fullest potential. What is of more importance is to in effect move the power of your transformer on your street closer to your equipment, and that is precisely what the RGPC technology does. We suggest you plug your basic power amplifiers (not integrated or receivers) and powered subwoofers directly into your wall outlets, with the RGPC units plugged into the adjacent duplex wall outlets, to take full advantage of our non-current-limiting parallel AC line enhancement and energy savings technology. Yes, this means that all components just by being plugged into the same AC circuit will receive RGPC enhancement. Basic power amps and powered subs do not need surge suppression because we feel they are adequately protected by their own internal transformers, while all remaining components should be plugged into the RGPC units themselves to take full advantage of our awesome state-of-the-art surge suppression system.
We can offer you increase in black level, lower noise floor and much more dynamics in both your audio and video reproduction
While i could tear the response from RGPC up on technical terms, i know that some folks have & use these with good results. I do not doubt that they offer some form of help in specific situations, but i do severely doubt some of the claims that they make. This is especially true in the response provided above. Sean

Monroe2,

I also have the Monster 5000. I decided to pick up the
Monster HTS 1000 also to avoid any problems (about 100 bucks
brand new on Yahoo shopping). My configuration is as follows:

2 dedicated lines 10GA one for audio one for video.

5000 with all audio including 120wpc 6ch amp, pre, cd,
dac.

1000 with HD reciever, 65 TV, DVD. Also plugging sub into
empty slot on second dedicated wall plug.

Basically for 100 more bucks you can get some extra insurance against TV, Cable noise ect... Getting into
your audio and also assure your amp has juice that it
needs. I have not had any signs of distress from system
In this configuration.

By the way i think somebody mentioned in one of the responses about isolating ana and dig... The Monster 5000 does have isolation circuits for digital and analog comps.

Good luck...
