Does a good power conditioner reduce need for power supply upgrade?


Would like to hear Agoner’s opinion on this topic.  It appears to me that power conditioning as a part of power distribution role for your whole system, and high end external power supplies designed to either replace and beef up internal linear supplies (e.g. Naim approach) or to replace cheap switching wall warts or internal supplies supporting a single piece of equipment have a similar function, that being to reduce noise without restricting current.

Interested in what you think.

1st, have you seen the wire in the fuse?

For years, I used a chain where EVERYTHING that was on was collectively going thru a single tiny fuse, the entire load of amazing crecendos at loud volumes never drew more that that hard to see wire could pass..

2nd, I thought about my Furman P1800 PF R version

that always has 45 amps of current ready for momentary peaks. That means it is the Furman’s Capacitors that are my power plant, always the power source at any moment, not the wall or separate ckt or ckt bkr or street transformer, my own power storage in my rack, for as my fuse proved, is a small need..

IF you have actual problems, that’s different, but the majority of us solve imaginary non-existant problems, and

IF there is a rare actual problem, I can do something else for a while.
