The Tice 3C power conditioner is transformerless. It's their latest design, and according to their hoo-ha, is a great improvement over the earlier ones. I haven't owned the earlier ones to compare. All that I can say is, the proof is in the sound, which is absolutely phenomenal - a drop-dead when drop-in difference. The Panamax I owned before is an overpriced power strip, and a lousy company to deal with, to boot.
Power Conditioners: Myth, Magic, or Necessary
I own a Granite 860.1 monoblock system which I love.I upgraded the power cords to premium $395.00 models.
I can hear no difference. I bought these upgraded PC's
because I thought I was "supposed to" after reading all the ads and testimonials.
The next logical upgrade for me is a power conditioner.Do these power conditioners actually improve the sound of my system? Or, are they like the "Emperor's New Clothes?" By that, I mean a hype.Are they a tweak for audiophiles obcesssed with perfection?
I am referring to power conditioners in the $500.00 to $1000.00 price range.I live in Riverside, Southern California where the electrical power is as pure and clean as the skies.
