Do you need one? Is your environment noisy?
In my case, the improvement in sound was due to the better quality outlets on the conditioner gripping the plugs tighter.
I eventually got rid of mine and my system has never been happier :-)
What I did do is:
- Installed a dedicated line from the breaker
- installed quality outlets (Pass and Seymour)
- replaced all my power cables with Furutech shielded cables - where the shield is connected only at the mains plug end.
- added in a Power Distribution Centre - another name for "quality power bar" (no conditioning), like the PS Audio - Dectet and the unfiltered distributor boxes from Furutech.
Let me stress...
- this worked with MY SYSTEM in MY ENVIRONMENT
- no other devices on my dedicated line e.g. washing machine, dishwasher etc...
- you may actually need a power conditioner
- but sometimes they are not be required
BTW: The chaps at Nordost hate them - and they make a living at this stuff :-)
