Power conditioning


I'm looking for a power conditioner for my McCormack DNA125; I'd also use it for my McCormack pre and my NAD CD player. There seems to be a lot of choices out there; my local dealer sells the Panamax, but so far I'm leaning towards the Hydra or Quintet. And advice would be welcome particularily from Steve. Thanks.

Here we go again, someone trying to tell people how to spend their money. Everyone should listen and judge for themself whether a particular line conditioner is worth the money. I use balanced power and find that it works well for me. The technology has sound (no pun intended) theory behind it.

What I do balk at is the thought of some of the very expensive line conditioners that have "technology" which the manufacturers are not showing us. Personaly, I would like to know exactly what I am being asked to pay a whole lot of money for. Nevertheless I don't begrudge anyone who thinks these products bring improvement to their system.
"Has anyone had experience with Balanced Power?"

Yes, I've been using balanced power for the past 5 years. I went the DIY way and already have a 4th generation rebuild in the works. I've experienced a lowered system noise floor, and improvements in detail, transparency and bass performance. Following are links to more information.
