Am i missing something without a power conditioner?
boa_constrictorPower conditioning (AC voltage regulator and RF noise eliminator) is a good thing to have provided:1- the AC power your utility supplies is not stable and not clean ....How do you know if the power supplied is stable or not?I use... 
Solid core power cords under 300$ - List of manufacturers ?
