Do I need a power conditioner?
I used to take solace in the opinions that cables make no difference, because it saved me money. Then I listened to a demo at CanJam where Dana Cables had some Grado headphones plugged into a Headtrip amp that had 2 outlets. Side by side identical... 
Do I need a power conditioner?
"Do I need?" is not actually the question of course.Will it make my system sound significantly better is the real question.Thought the original question might elicit some useful info. Boom! 
Do I need a power conditioner?
I would like to try it.Wonder if they have a try before you buy option. 
Do I need a power conditioner?
Or is it 0.02?Maybe inflation adjusted.Thing looks pretty expensive for what it actually is: maybe the most overbuilt power distributor ever!But I have no basis to judge its effect on SQ.Thanks for another interesting suggestion. 
I finally fixed my HUM! Halalulah, and thanks for tips
Maybe I can piggyback here. I have an Oppo 95 connected to a PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Integrated HP and Zu Druid. Druid are very sensitive and I had a pretty good hum going. Figured out that if I drop the ground from either the Oppo or the Prima...

CPT a little more cost effective. And likely more available. 
Do I need a power conditioner?
I had a PS Audio PPP. It helped, but the improvement was relatively subtle, especially compared to the Equitech.The Equitech is orders of magnitude more effective IMO.Most of the noise in your AC power is not coming from your wall circuit. It is r... 
Do I need a power conditioner?
It is not just the noise I think.It's the phase integrity also.Filters cause phase shift between voltage and current right?So improved power factor.Wish I knew more about it. 
Do I need a power conditioner?
So the Equitech 2RQ arrived yesterday.The more I read about it, the more I am convinced that balanced power is the better solution for eliminating noise in theory. In practice however, no way to know till you actually hear the results. Of course y... 
Do I need a power conditioner?
Interesting brewhaha. Has since been resolved in favor of balanced power use for audio systems I believe. Including modification of the NEC. I do wonder if ungrounded components present a problem. I have a Pioneer Elite 79-DVi SACD player that doe... 
Do I need a power conditioner?
I've heard Denali at the local dealer. Sounded wonderful. But it was part of a $200K+ system. So how much to attribute to the Denali? I am getting the Equitech from an out of state dealer to avoid massive sales tax. The more I read about the histo... 
Do I need a power conditioner?
Dealer where I got the 2RQ is also a Shunyata dealer. He has Equitech unit in his home system. Hope that means something. Equitech technology sounds good on paper. Shunyata is a little opaque about their technology. I have the 1st gen Shunyata ... 
Do I need a power conditioner?
Again Audiogon forum comes through. Previously I had asked about turntables and ended up with GEM PolyTable, Hana cartridge and Sutherland phono stage. Products I had never heard of but which are clearly better than what I had originally planned o... 
Do I need a power conditioner?
I got the Equitech 2RQ.Apparently it is a little hard to find a unit in stock anywhere, but I managed this one. I believe I was told usually takes 4-6 weeks to get one. They have multiple models. I am led to believe the 1.5 R "Son of Q" and the 2R...
