power conditioner


How important is power conditioner for musical system . Does it really  improve sound quality if the outlet AC power is adequate enough?

I am thinking about one....I called torus 2days ago n spoke 2 Lance...
he did say i could run it on a 15amp. line.....I do like the fact that it does not have filters.....torus make them for Bryston also.....hope someone here can give some feedback on them....
gdhal....I looking also 2 learn more....jl35....if ur ac is bad it really hurts the sound.....no matter how good ur equipment is.....when I lived in queens it was bad....n nothing worked i tried many PC.....

including quiet a few PS audio PC--- I lived across from train yard near Queens Blvd n Union Tpke....one thing I know....I will never buy another PS Audio PC. 
I had Furman n they were good.....but that was before they sold the company.....my friend didn't want 2 buy mine so he bought a new one.....this was after Furman sold....bought it at B&H Photo around were we both worked.....he didn't like it plus it hummed so he returned it n bought mine.....he like n kept it.....all I said 2 him was.....I told you.....this was back before 2009....good luck everyone.

 
Ronkent,  I tried a lot of there PC....including there---ultimate outlets--humbustres III------ two of there regenerators the last one being the premier----  which my friend sold for me n he told the gentleman it may not help.....but the guy said he wanted 2 try it anyway so my friend asked him 2 let him know if it worked in his home......when the guy got back 2 him he told him it did nothing for his ac problem......I still have the 2 humbusters III......I have moved 2 a new apartment 220 miles away n awhile ago I hooked the up in my new place n new system.....they did what they always did nothing except make the music sound dead.....I also had n still do quite a few of there power cords.....n they never did anything for me n I have had a lot of different high end equipment.....so bottom line is I do not even think about them when it comes 2 Power Conditioners or cords 
I have decided that my next PC will be a Torus or bryston Toroidal Isolation Transformer with voltage regulation. I want to try something without Filters this time.....Any Feed Back is Welcome. 

Hope 2 have one by Jan or Feb.
oleschool and dlcockrum,

I had 2 different regenerating units from P S Audio in the past, I found them a waste of money, the gentleman bought my last premier PS Audio unit said it did not do anything for him either.....that's why after awhile you see there big ac regenerating units 50% Off......I can buy there $5,000 units n smaller units now from there dealers for 50% off, I do not feel there worth it......................................................

I will look into the Powercell, I think they have a new unit out with good reviews, but I must admit I do like the idea of the big Bryston or Torus unit...... I did have a guy come over  today 2 take a look n see if he could run me a separate 20amp line, my ac box has no extra space in it.....so he took pictures of the box etc. n said he would get back to me......I hope he can do it......THANK YOU FOR UR HELP.
oleschool,

Sounds like you have what we all need, great setup.....it all starts at that AC Line.
orpheus10, oleschool...

I have spent a Bundle on PC in the last 35 years, and I do not HEAR a Difference.......except some PC make the music sound dead or some might say very dark.....another words worse.....That's why I want to try the Toroidal Isolation Transformer.......AS far as the  20amp line I hope the gent tells me he can do it in this apart. you sure have a lot going on at ur house with the ac,  I love the part with ur daughter, makes it all worth while....thank you for ur input...godbless
