Power conditioner or not?

Power conditioning, as stated earlier and accurately, is system dependent and there are many products available which serve the many requirements of the audiophile.

To believe that capitalism, rather than necessity, is the genesis for all of the products on the market is simply naive and shows a complete lack of understanding regarding power delivery.

A combination of conditioning and cables that works well in one system could be totally dysfunctional in another. Only an inexperienced amateur would deny it.

In closing one not need to spend $20K to achieve reference level sonics. None of my display systems' cabling total approaches that number but all will smoke the system referenced here.

It's about matching components not pouring money into a cable black hole.

I hope that helps.

Audiofeil, do you read much or interact with people other than your friends from epsilon prime? I am not alone in any of the statements I have made. In fact, if you care to think outside your closed minded box, you would discover many scenarios capable of reproducing music well...some mainstream and others counterintuitive. You never seem to really open up about any real specifics regarding your own inner audio travels. What music do you favor...artists? Your not hold up on a compound somewhere in the midwest are you?

Many will agree with Dave_b and just as many will agree with Audiofeil if they can put their dislike of him behind them,All should agree that every component is system dependent and the listeners bias' almost always overshadow the evaluation as well they should.Therefore whats the beef?

Audiofeil is curmudgeonly but he's been in the business forever and as such has pretty much reached the point that he doesn't suffer fools gladly. He knows what he's talking about.

This is kind of like the whole Obama mistique...people assume he(audiofeil) knows what he's talking about, but when pressed for an example of his divine knowledge, the silence is deafening. Further ruminations by or regarding Audiofeil must include detail and pertinent information..I grow weary of foolishness as well. Publicly, audiogon knows very little about my background. I speak from the heart and in the moment...behind the easy target resides a considerable degree of experience as well. Methinks audiofeil doth profess too much...state your credentials and bias or silence yourself. Only politics has room for such an inflated ego!
