Who has dumped the power conditioner?


Hello,
I recently replaced my mains conditioner, with a high quality power strip.(Oyaide MG).

The sound is now more detailed, dynamics I didn't know I was missing are back, and air and separation have all improved.
I am interested if anyone else has gone back to basics?
Cheers

I'm happy with my dedicated lines and Transparent PowerIsolators. A 100 amp system separate from the power for the rest of the home is dedicated to the AV system. 85 feet of armored 00-gauge cooked & cryoed copper wire runs from the meter to a dedicated Square D QO Panel with switchable lightning grade surge protector. There are 5 armored 12-gauge cooked & cryoed copper wire runs from the panel: 1 for each of the mono blocks, 1 for analog components, 1 digital components and 1 for the video projector. Each circuit has a Transparent PowerIsolator between it and the components connected to that circuit. Most of the PCs are Purist Anniversary, which are much better in my system than Transparent, VD Revelation or Stealth Dream.

As far as I can tell, there is no loss of the awesome dynamics or imaging and the soundstage is wide and deep, though not as tall as I would like.

The PowerIsolators are 3 years old now, so it would not surprise me if the SR Tesla Powercell is indeed better.
