Direct lines and adding a power conditioner

lol!, you do not ever need a power conditioner if you have a dedicated ground for your lines, thats for people that do not know any better!

@ Davea33, Hi, If you use 6-ft or less dedicated earth grounds out side the house to each recepticle there is no need for a conditioner, of course dealers and conditioner companys will diagree!, they want your money!, conditioners are good if you cannot run this scheme!, It is difficult to manage to arrange for these dedicated grounds, thus, the use of conditioners are used more!, most audiophiles do not have dedicated grounding schemes that I have exsposed here, they commonly share a single ground, so yes, a line conditioner will help that set-up, I have done all of these listed here thru out the years, what I have listed that works best was revolutionary and cost effective to the sound!, Happy listening.

@ Jwpstayman, Hi, If you have a dedicated circuit breaker box with this scheme, It meets code nation wide!, This scheme drops the noise floor hugely in any circumstance no matter where you live or what grade of power you get from the power company!, Done right, all breakers work as designed!

Jwpstayman, that is not true if you have a dedicated breaker box just for your audio recepticles, I can also add, there is no federal code!, what might not be code in your state, does not mean its not code in my state of alabama!, my set-up has been approved!, thus no need for some over priced multi-thousands of dollars line conditioner!, I will also add, It is very cheap to have an in wall surge protector for the lower power componets, LOL!, there is no sure protection that can handle a Krell 700cx amp!, I unplug the amp when It is not being listened to, thats the best cheapest protection,LOL!
