Power line conditioners- to use or not to use? That is the question?


If you are in the "yes use them" camp.  Which ones etc.?

If you are a "no". Why?

Right now, I use outlets I built from hospital grade outlets bought from an electrical supply house.  I plug my amp directly into house wall outlet.  In speaking with a friend he highly recommended using a power line conditioner.  Specifically a panamax mr4300.  Swears by it.  Thoughts?

I use isolation transformers from Plitron. They sell directly to the public. The hospital grade units require their own electrical boxes, and may require a specialist electrical inspection, depending on your jurisdiction. Plitron also sells stand-alone boxes, which I have not tried.

I protect everything with Plitron units (3 of them). I found that special cords or other power accessories were less important than the Plitron.

A word of caution though - when they are doing their job, they tend to growl, so it’s better to site them away from the listening room. And pay attention to grounding. I suggest having a pro install them.
