power conditioner


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

lots of variation and difference of opinion, depending on system, electric supply, personal preference. I have amp and pre plugged into wall, sources into a balanced conditioner. Then there is the issue of dedicated lines...
none of my favorite high end stores that I do business with use power conditioners in their showrooms...
maybe not demonstrating gear at it's best also helps explain the disappearance of audio stores...I have never been in sales, but it seems an odd way to sell product...I would think the store would want their gear to sound great or else the customer won't buy it,  and also sell power and room acoustic gear too...Are you in audio sales maplegrove?...I would be curious if that is common practice, as we have many dealers on these forums...
I leave my BPT turned on all the time, have it on the floor on the Mapleshade cones they recommend
and depending on your system, could those thousands be better spent elsewhere
as unpredictable as component - system - room matching can be, I find power products the most unpredictable 
does Furman have a recommendation?  And yes, nothing stops a lightning strike...
