How good is a Monster Power HTS 2600?


Hi guys,

Take a look at my system.
I am thinking that the monster HTS 2600 power might be the weak link.
What do you think?

If so what would be a good conditioner to replace it with?
If not, what do you think the weak link is?

I have $400CND in the bank plus whatever I could sell the monster for.

Thanks,
Nick

In my experience, the lower end Monster stuff is great for the price. However, there are many more expensive power conditioners that are great for the price as well, and therefore significantly better than the Monster ones. I'd stick to what they call their "Stage 2" stuff, my experience has been that the higher stages limit current too much and unacceptably restrict dynamics. The only real suggestion I can give you is to try it in your system. Most power conditioners seem to improve some aspects of the sound and degrade others, so you really need to try them and make sure the improvements are important to you, and the degradations aren't an issue in the context of your system.

I don't have any experience with Blue Circle, so I won't comment on that, but I would recommend looking into Shunyata if they have a suitable product in your price range.
