Power Conditioning / Surge Protection
+1   mike_in_nc .... my friend bought Power Plant P600 Power Regenerator and  was very disappointed how it affects the SQ of his system. First I thought maybe it warming up issue or he just too used to previous setup, but when I visited him after ...

Are there any tube amps that don't give off any---

Have you changed your mind about a brand? Was it you, or them?
New Colts is not like 20-30 years ago... big disappointment in assembling quality and materials. Levies jeans got pure too.. audio equipment seems to be fine.
