Powervar 1200 - How good?

At one time or another I have had a Hydra, BPT Ultra, PS Audio 300, Bybee, etc in my system. I firmly believe in a quality power conditioner. The seller has sold a a ton of these on the 'Gon and every now and then one is re-sold. That tells me most people keep them. I am currently using a Transparent Ultra that retailed for around $800 but I am very curious about the Powervar in a high end audio only system. Comments/Comparisons much appreciated. System is Sony 9000ES w/Modwright Signature Truth mod, Modwright SWL 9.0 linestage, BAT VK-200 amp, Energy Veritas 2.4 speakers.

I owned one. I did notice an improvement in detail and clarity. One thing I did not like was the transformer hum, which was constant.

I have a modifed powervar 12 and it sounds great.Sure does give a black background.I did add 3 - .47 sonicaps to the recepticles--1 cap per recepticle.

I have 3 caps left over if someone wants them.There are new .47 sonicaps --second generation.The cost was 8.50 per cap--i will sell them for 20$ and pay shipping.They take the powervar to another level in cleaning up the line.
