Power Conditioners


I need help in choosing a power conditioner. I am running a citation 5.1 b&k preamp Nakamichi mb-10s and a x-dac. I am wonder if a power strip type would be sufficiant? Help!! PS is it better just to leave everything on?

If its solid state or digital leave it on.Power conditioners is a difficult subject.Most help in some ways but also create other problesm.one unit hich i have treid and really works is the PS 300.The PS 600 is also a very good unit.I would run dedicated ac lines before i did anything if it is feasible.That is generally the best bang for your buck.One line for every component.dont put two components on the same line if you can avoid it.
I've tried a few and am using the Cinepro Power Pro 20 and the PS Audio PS300. Go to PS Audio's website and check it out. It blows anything else away and is priced right.
IMO, the most bang for my buck by far has been adding dedicated lines, 1 for amps, 1 for digital, 1 for phono, 1 for my preamp, using Hubbell 8600 outlets and 10ga wire, the whole job cost me $310. Prior to this I have used Chang, Power Wedge, Seakay, Counterpoint conditioneers...which all had subtle improvements...my advise is to first get dedicated lines...then add on Line conditioners. BTW, make sure to run a dedicated ground.
