power conditioner

I like to use Furman units with LiFT and SMS. I do find they add warmth and clean/quiet mid to treble. I miss them when disconnected.

More importantly is having consistent performance 24/7. I rely on the Furman’s to provide bullet-proof surge protection and (sometimes) voltage regulation. If you are worried about that then of course, invest.

Your mileage may vary, but I do think some units are ridiculously overpriced, as are power cables.

In terms of sound quality, invest in good room acoustics first. Then power conditioners.

Best,

I can understand your confusion. Unfortunately almost NO power conditioner helps ground hum. Please see my blog here:

Furman makes an excellent product, and protects better than most surge protectors, and I do find they make modest improvements in sound quality. Please do not be discouraged if it did not remove hum.

Best,
