Any of you plug your Io or Io Sig into a power conditioner?

Jim White advsies against it in the original Io instructions, so I'm leary of doing anything. But I wonder how my ExactPower EP-15A could harm it. All it does is correct the AC sinewave coming in - no power regeneration, no filtering.

Thoughts?

Hi Patrick,

I have been following your progress with the IO problem. I am a relatively new owner of the IO Signature.

I was wondering if you ever left the IO on for a full day, such as 7AM until midnight, for example...I did one day and noticed at the end of the day that the IO was whistling a high pitched sound...according to my searches it sounds like tube bias getting out of whack or something related to that...how do we test tubes to see if they are bad or going bad, the IO has so many that it will take time..I do not have any problems now, been using the IO for several hours a day, not all day marathons like last week.
Thanks,

Thanks for the reply. I turn off the IO after every listening session. I am stationed in Germany and electricity is very expensive here.

The problem is not one that has ever popped up before. I do not need to send it off as the problem has not reproduced itself. I will let the IO stay on this weekend to see what happens.
