Condition this baby

When I first got my gear, I was advised to protect my investment with a surge protector. Being the smart, savvy guy, I knew that investing in a power conditioner was like wasting money on good cables. They were not going to trick me from my money! So I bought a Trip Lite unit for $100.

Of course, now there are Coincident speaker cables, I/C's and power cords all around. And when I put in a couple of FIM outlet's the difference was huge!. MY amp seems to clip at a fairly low level and I'm thinking that upgrading the line is the best way to go. I have Marsh gear, so I like the ides of the Monster 5000, which is designed by Richard Marsh or there are a couple Panamax units inn my price range. I would like to spend in the $200-$400 range.

My gear is a Thule CD and Rega 25 front end, with a marsh P2000T and 400S. I also use a CJ PV-11 for the phono stage, driving Audio physic Virgo’s.

I messed around with conditioners but finally got what I needed by running 2 separate circuits(I'm about to run a third) for my stereo only. The ground for these circuits is connected to a separate ground rod instead of connected to the breaker box with all the other grounds and neutrals. I have much better sound than any conditioner i've had in the past. And lets face it ,if lightning hits big time on my house electric, Unpluging is probably the only thing that will save your equipment.
