My first power conditioner - positive experience

Just wanted to share my first experience with a power conditioner, coz I have to say it was positive.

My system:
Modwright Transporter streaming 16/44 and 24/96 content
Theta Digital Data Basic ii and Ds Pro Basic iii for redbook
Hovland HP-100 Pre
Pass Labs Aleph 3 Amp
KEF 103/3 speakers
Audioquest Diamondback interconnects
Pangea power cables

My music library s exclusively Jazz

The power area is the least invested area of my system, and I took a small step with a Panamax Max 5100-PM conditioner. Definitely low end at $300 retail and I paid $135 used.

I has been quite happy with my current system performance. Saw the Panamax cheap and tried it. Was pleasantly surprised that I found small but noticeable improvement.

Overall a bit more punch. Clearer instrument pacement and definition. Slightly more forward soundstage, not in a bad way. Wider soundstage. Everything jut a bit more... "there".

If you have optimized other elements of your system, think about power too. It made a difference for me even with a really low end conditioner.
