Power Conditioners


The more I read the more I am confused. Passive conditioners, power re-generators, new technologies, yikes!

I am suffering from the common system goes dead in the evening but magically comes back to life like a vampire at midnight. Seems like a clear sign the power is not what it should be. Have decent power cables with a PS Audio Quintet but been thinking a power conditioner might be just what my system needs to sound like midnight all the time.

As usual I am a victim of too much internet research but will probably start with a demo of an Isotek unit from my local hifi shop. Also have PS Audio Premier Powerplant, Torus, Richard Gray, and Furman in the general vicinity.

But then started reading user reviews of Audience (2T is not that pricey) and then MajikBuss and they sound like they have wow factor potential.

Okay need to come clean and admit that I have no dedicated power in this room - do in another room but that is my second system. Waiting for an electrician for a kitchen renovation to do dedicated circuits.

System is Accuphase integrated amp to Harbeth with good quality cd source and computer source as well. Any experience or advice to share with me about power conditioning?

Shellie nailed it. You have to try power conditioners in your own system in order to determine the best match. Find the products you want to demo, narrow it down to 3 or so, then find a dealer or dealers who will loan them to you for an audition.

Opinions and reviews can help you narrow your choices, but by no means rely on them for a purchasing decision.
