what power conditioner?

Don't like conditioners, but put my vote on equi-tech. It is balanced power and not reallly a conditioner. There are differences between the equi-tech stand alone units and their wall units. You should call the company and visit them web site to explore these differences.

Punch Audio Magic Stealth into google.

Made me drool but can't afford it.

Richard Grey 1200s, It made my stereo sound much better!
Go for it

What about exact power stuff?

I didn't like the low wattage, high price, and heavy heat of a powerplant, so I looked for an alternative. I bought a used Richard Gray Power Company 300 for $550. The music seemed to come alive. It had extra energy. It also worked wonders with my son's Pioneer receiver based system. Then I bought a second one, and the improvement was noticable, but not as great as with the first RGPC. I'm very pleased.

Be aware that I do not think the RPGC works well with equipment that has a very well regulated power supply. Some people have not found any improvement. It appears that those who have not found improvement have very highend equipment. In fact, that occurred with a Stereophile review, which could not find the RGPC to work with his system.

You really should try it first.
