Best Power Conditioner


Hi Folks:
I've been out of the audio upgrade path for a while, but now want to invest in a power conditioner (I'm thinking it may be the weak link in my system). I want to spend under $1k used. Last time I looked at the topic, it looked like Audio Magic Stealth was king of the hill, surpassing the likes of PS Audio, Shunyata and Sound Application. Is that still the case? I'd be using the unit to power a pair of Blue Circle BC2 amps, Supratek Syrah preamp, Bidat DAC, Pioneer 525 Transport, and likely a Marquee CRT Projector. Let me know if you have advice or recommendations! Thanks!

For under $1000.00 I suggest you to get a bybee technologie signature model which I had before. I had used a lot of power conditioners but Bybee is a good one for the price (less than $500.00 used). Good luck.
I have used the Stealth with great success and highly
recommend it. I was amazed a few days ago when I tried the
Stealth in combination with the Richard Gray 400. I also
had Bybee modules installed in the power amps by Great Northern and that also raised the bar. It's interesting
the degree to which all this can contribute to the success
of a system.
Check out the 12 amp Powervar's for sale here on audiogon. Am very pleased. Using for a Marsh A400s amp and no compression as is often claimed. Actually I bought it for something else but tried it with my amp to see if I could hear the compression that sometimes a power conditioner can cause with a power amp. None even when cranked. The midrange is more liquid and the blacker background made it quite the bargain.
