Thank you for the input. I didn’t think about possibly having al. Wiring until I started writing this. I guess my main goal is to deal with the safety issue. I’ll probably find out how much to run copper wire from the breaker to my stereo. So after spending a bunch of money On that I’m left with the variable power and conditioning issue. I have a Furman surge protector with emi/rfi filters on it. Maybe all I can do for now. Thanks for the Decware link, I will check up on that as well
Importance of a power conditioners versus surge protector
Hi everyone! I recently upgraded my stereo and realized that I have had trouble with power outages and some “glitches” on my tv for a while. I purchased a Furman surge protector but it is not a power conditioner. I guess while the surge protector may be good for abnormally elevated “electronic surges” it may not filter unwanted noise and protect my system. I have aluminum wiring in the house also which I know isn’t the best conductor. Is it important from a music quality and component standpoint to add a conditioner? Can you suggest a quality conditioner for under $750?
