Power Strip vs. Line Conditioner


Please give me some feedback on this. I was told and have read that line conditioners should never be used as they degrade the sound. Instead a simple power strip such as the Wiremold brand is all that is needed for the best sound. Is this true?

I agree with Fpeel.

I own some of the Wiremold power strips, they are all hospital grade, Hubbel outlets, and are extremely well made. They work well where you need them.

I also live in a condo, and the power sucks. I find a significant improvement in my sound, in lower noise floor and tighter bass with power conditioners than without, even on my amps (I use a Chang Lightspeed 9900 amp for them), which seems to work well, even on my Aragon 4004 MkII. But you need to play around. Some amps have better conditioning already in the power supply, some need the direct wall/line.... See what works in your system...
Mezmo, I found that using a good power strip (wiremold) from the wall to my power conditioners worked better for me. Just my 0.02.
