power conditioning question gentlemen

      I,m considering a power conditioner /surge unit ,Two sunfire subs,nu vista intergrated(draws some juice) ,transport,dac,tt, phono section (dc-ac i may just plug in wall)  .Dedicated 20amp run directly to room x 2 hospital grade rec. I have been looking into richard grays,furman ref,shunyata etc.I have a unique set up here in nor cal.I am completley off grid!,I run a serious solar and res set up with a genny back up.The power is pretty consistant although during changes in genny start up or at time it does fluctuate a little .I never hear it or have never measured a spiked it drops slightly during those milliseconds.I would like to snag a used one in the 1k range .
thoughts??

Inna....you're absolutely right.  Have no warts in your system, and you won't have to search and irradicate them.  (Get top quality gear)

I never had success with any power conditioner I tried....power cables...yes, but conditioners although they changed the sound of the system, it never was for the better.  For those that have conditioners in their system...just try removing them and listen again.

What I try to do on these pages, because I'm a nice guy, is to relate MY experiences in this search for perfection....In fact, there is no such thing.  I must have spent a couple of hundred thousand dollars on the greatest next component only to be ultimately dissatisfied.  My point in the post above is to caution us to get the stuff we're  absolutely sure about.  My stuff is a few years old now, but still brings what I want to the party.  Buying and selling is for the dealers to play with.....but an excellent way for us to lighten our wallet in disappointment.  When I recommend listening to your own system without power conditioning, its what I have done and found it to be instructive,  and a wise effort FOR ME....and maybe for some others.
