Power Line Conditioners


I am looking at buying a unit to filter out AC line noise etc..

I have a pair of Sunfire amps for the main speakers and a
DBX 3bx1 amp for the A/V speakers. RCA Proscan IDTV big screen TV. These are the main power users in the system.

The Sunfire amps can put put some serious power but I don't
know what their input requirments are. The DBX amp input is 600w. The last thing I want to do is limit the dynamics etc.. from the amps.

Anyway...I started looking at units by Panamax 5500, Monster 5100 and the recently Tice Powerblock III B. I want a quality unit but dont want to spend a bunch of
money. Should I look at other units?

Your thoughts and comments are greatly appreciated.

Thank you
Chris

Between the three the Tice would be my choice. I would skip the Monster and Panamax. You've heard of them probably because they advertise the most. Also look at conditioners made by Chang Lightspeed, Vansevers and Audio Power. My personal favorite is Vansevers. Really all comes down to your needs and the configuration of your system. You also need to consider the video, so good digital performance is important. The Tice A/V, Chang 6400 or Vansevers 85 or one of the Audio Power with mutiple digital plugs. The Vansevers 85 even has separate filtered digital plugs to separate the TV from the other digital stuff.
If you feel you need a condtioner for the amps and you feel Sean is correct for your system, Mike Vansevers makes a conditioner for power amps that does not limit power and may free power called appropriately "The Unlimiter". The stock unit at dealers is usually 15 amps, however Mike does make a 20 amp version by special order.
