Don't hook your amp to any conditioner, plug it right into the wall. You can buy used cables here or at www.usedcables.com, if it works for you, great, keep it, if not you can resell it for what you paid and be better off for the experience. Also, don't let people flat out tell you to sell your Monster, they probably have never heard it and just don't like the name, instead, if you have doubts, try another brand in home before selling it, or any component for that matter. More $$$ does not ever insure more performance, no more then esoteric brands are always superior to the stuff you buy at Tweeter. For the money I doubt you will find a better conditioner, but, again, don't run your amp through it.
Upgrade amp power cable or not?
I just got two Monster HTS2000. Do I still need to upgrade the power cable for my amp? I have a Unison Research Unico Hybrid amp. What does a high quality power cable do that a stock pc can't. I can never understand the importance of the pc. If the wire in the walls are only as good as home depot cable how can a high end pc help? Does it improve current? Or does it reduse power line noise? Please help me justify a pc upgrade or not. Thanks.
