I want peoples opinions on best ac conditioners

Rsback is correct, however I live in a condo and can't do dedicated circuits. I just went from the Tice IIIC HP (very happy with it for a few years) to the newest BPT 2.5 with all internal upgrades. Now that the power cord has broken in (since my original post in this thread), the performance is now elevated with superb results. Keith Jarrett just played a concert in my living room, and the tickets were free...

you'll find different camps on this- I have had success in the past with balanced power, and have recently upgraded to the Balanced Power Tech BPT 2.5 w internal upgrades- seems to provide a very quiet background with no compromises in dynamics- bass seems tighter as well. Good luck in the search.

Mitch- BPT 2.5 with all upgrades- direct from factory price is ~$1,800-$1,900 with 30-day trial (you won't need it), or, you can get it from Underwoodwally (dealer here on Audiogon- Walter Leiderman) for less. Walter is a great guy to deal with as well.
