What should I expect after installing a new power management system?


Trying to decide between Shunyata, synergistic, transparent, Niagara from audio quest. They cost between 5000 and $8000. What can I expect when I plug my various components into this pricey box.?  Plan on also getting several higher end power cables. I thought about buying a regenerator but didn't feel this was a good thing

I have heard many things about noise floor and current clean up and a new one, improved transients.

Anyone buy a new power system lately?

I agree with @raysmtb1. And before you bother, why don’t you audit (or have a good electrician audit) your electrical system, starting from the service entrance. You can’t pull the meter though the power company can. Look at what Fremer went through when he had problems with a Generac installation- they found corroded contacts at the meter and all sorts of other stuff.

I haven’t used a power conditioner in a long time, so my experience with the latest crop is nil. I do have a very good power system, though and spent money on it to get it right. Frankly, the infrastructure where I’m at now is far better than what we had in NY and I probably could have skipped the big iso-transformer. But my speakers are 104db and you can hear every gremlin if it is there. I’m always worried that filtering is going to throw baby out with bath water.  I know that some folks like the effect of conditioning, but no one’s situation is exactly the same. Is this a new location for you? I went through this when I moved from NY to Texas.
