I went with very recently with a PSAudio Duet Power Center for $299.00. I guess you can call it a passive unit. It filters the A/C power and a surge protector far better than the mass market protectors out there. It also provides four 120VAC outlets. No question there is a large difference in the overall soundstage, detail, and clarity of the music being reproduced. There's an excellent technical video on the Duet at their website psaudio.com. I also recommend folks watch their DVD called "Coal to Coltrane". They send it out free and it's a study on power in general. Very well done by their own staff and includes their President Paul McGowan. Their website is jam packed with well researched technical info on power, power cords, cable, etc. I believe in their products.
Power Conditioners
I have been researching AC conditioners and the more I read the more I am confused. There are passive units such as the Running Springs and Velocitor and then there are the ones using transformers for "balanced power". Is one better for the front end and one for the amplifiers? Any info or opinion would be appreciated. Don
