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

For Relentless and Leatherneck1812; do you have fully "dedicated" lines entering your home via a separate service, or do you have dedicated circuits with an isolated ground? Just wondering?

The line I run my amps off of is its own service that was at one time used to run window air conditioners. A steady 125 volts 2.5-3%THD :)
I would use a conditioner for the source components and dedicated lines for the amps. My amps have there own serge protection and I am willing to bet many other good amps do as well.

PS Audio and others have serge protecting wall outlets which takes one power cord out of the mix and one less chance of loss at the connection.

I am using a power re-generator and it also changes the sound, so if your house has relatively clean power the high quality power strip may be the way to go.
