Power conditioner types

Sarjan at 6moons is a big fan of the Puritan line of conditioners and has reviewed both the 156 and the 136 and details the differences. He uses Vibex on his big system and the 156 on his two other systems.

One cannot stress, enough, the need to remove any and all DC. The tiniest amount sets your tranny a buzzin even for several seconds after it's gone. It's what lots hear when they invest in a mega power conditioner with it's own tranny that doesn't address the issue properly. 
Or so I've read. My Niagara 1200 does, as does the Puritan 156.

I thought I didn’t need a power conditioner for the longest time until I tried a Audioquest Niagara 1200. Three different integrateds and my SACD player all sounded better with it. Even my TV picture improved.

Just because amps have power conditioning built in doesn’t necessarily mean it’s being done correctly. No two makes do it the same way so it stands to reason that a few are doing it correctly and the rest are doing it wrong. Could be for a myriad of reasons but most of the time it’s just cost cutting and making things to a price point.

Trust your ears and not someone with an agenda.
