I would investigate "balanced power" and isolatation transformers prior to using any "power conditioner" with a power amplifier. Yeah and 20 amp dedicated lines go without saying - unless you live somewhere that you do not own. To me "clean power" is probably "dedicated" and "isolated" power and not necessarily "conditioned" power. Or maybe Twl's solar powered batteries and SETs. heheheh. ;-)
Need advice on good, clean, stable power
This is the chronology of my "bug," i.e. the "need" (or want) to upgrade.
* Yamaha RX-1400 clipped 4 full size and 1 center speakers during an intensive shooting scene of Tears From the Sun. I heard loud popping sounds from some speakers when volume was blasted off.
* I was advised by many A'gon members to get a multi-channel amp. I got the Marantz MM9000 (150wpcX5), which is plugged into a power cleaner with surge protector. Currently, the surge protector is Monster Powerbar 2100, but that will be changed to Monster HTS 3500 tomorrow in hope to get more cleaner power.
* Many A'gon members recommend to bypass the power conditioner and plug the multi-channel amp directly into the wall outlet, preferably a dedicated one.
My question now becomes if I do not want to install a dedicated line right now, would a more feasible alternative option is to use a regulator like the Monster AVS 2000? Monster Cable claims that the AVS 2000 regulator provides continuous 120V power, which in my opinion serves a good purpose for the multi-channel amp.
Sorry for I am not an electrical engineer, but that AVS 2000 sounds like a working solution for me. What do you all think about this route, or do you have some other suggestions in mind. Thanks for all the help with valuable advice.
