Line Conditioners or Power Filters?????


Anyone out there with knowledge of Power Filers or Line Conditioners? I am new at this and wondering if I need this stuff even though I had good A.C. Cables to connect my system with.

As Sugarbrie states, dedicated AC lines provide excellent benefits regardless of what else you do.

As for your original question, I'd recommend investigating the Foundation Research LC-1 and LC-2 dedicated and passive in-line power conditioners. Marty DeWulf of Bound for Sound reviewed these last August and claims these to be the best in the business and purchased them for his 'big rig'.

I've been using these for over two years and the benefits are tremendous, including the elimination of any negative sibilance.

BTW, they come with their own built-in power cable and cost about as much as a good power cable.

I thank you both for your advice. I had no idea cables and connectors and conditioners made such a difference in audio
systems nor how expensive they were prior to a few weeks ago when I started shopping for components of my own.
Should or could the LC1 be used as a cord for a Richard Gray power condtion? Thanks, John
There is, as you read this, an Audio Magic Stealth for sale (by MrSilver, himself-Jerry the Audio Magic man) for $700. It's a steal. Whatever cords you're using now, even if they are HomeDepot types, plugged into your Stealth, you'll freak. Now, add a few top quality cords and you're on your way to electric nirvana. I began my power conditioning experiences with the Stealth. My brand new Eclipse has just arrived, with no place to go. I'm waiting on my speakers. Delivery in 2 days, hopefully. The Stealth will be a wonderful addition to your system. Dedicated lines are a must. Keep your digital and analog separate. That alone, changing nothing else, will give you some tympanic highs. peace, warren
P.S. given the cost of quality power cords and the amount you require, the Stealth may be a very cost effective way to upgrade your electric. If you could only do one, I'd do the Stealth first. There is no cord that can do what a power contioner, like the Stealth, can do.
