Shunyata or Synergistic for power conditioning?


Hi,
Please forgive me if this is not the correct topic location to post about power-conditioning since the two brands I am interested in are famous cable manufacturers.

Comparing "Denali" and "Powercell 12 UEF" ; anyone who has tried both and can share opinions?

i like open clear dynamic sound. Smooth high frequency is also important.
Thank you.

So, just to bring this back on track, I have decided to go down the power conditioning rabbit hole. After talking to some dealers who sell ARC gear (I have a Ref 6 and Ref 150SE), I’ve decided to try an Isotek Aquarius and Isotek Syncro in conjunction-Syncro into the wall and then to the Aquarius. Since my dedicated listening room needs to be cleared out for removal of carpeting and installation of hardwood, I am going to take the opportunity to have an electrician come in and run 10 gauge romex from my breaker panel below to my outlets, making sure that all the romex to my listening room is installed on the same leg of the AC, and replace my hospital grade outlets to even better outlets. I had dedicated lines installed when we built the house almost 20 years ago, but new romex and receptacles can't hurt. It will likely be a month or two before all is done, but I will report back. I don’t have any transformer hum that I know of, but the idea of blocking all DC and getting other filtering benefits from the Syncro before the power goes to the Aquarius which also filters the AC appeals to me. I will have a 30 day trial period so I might as well see what they do for my system. This gives me the flexibility to also try the Syncro hooked up directly into my amp and then using the Aquarius for the rest of my gear. Of this I have no doubt; there is no single sure bet with power conditioning. It is all hit and miss system-dependant guesswork and trial and error. Like medicine, the first priority is to "do no harm".
