| Power conditioners and power regeneration "Only other way to have ultra clean power is condition from the pole to your meter, which I’m not going there." I'd be thinking the same way only IF at the very least a dedicated outlet is already in play. I use BOTH. | |

| Not your run-of-the-mill, used spinner. "I put a bid of 25k in 😉" rsf507- $25K might buy HALF of the structure! I say $65K would be a smokin deal? Service/shipping likely will be a huge undertaking. Secretguy-playing with SOTA toys isn't about money/sense. You either can or can't.... | |
