Best Power Conditioner?


Just wondering what people's view on different power conditioners are. What could be considered the best?

Audio Magic Stealth
Shunyata Hydra
Sound Application CF-12XE
PS Audio Powerplant 1200
5 dollar 6 outlet electrical strip

Obviously there are others. What have you had the best sucess with?

I have quite a bit of experience with the PS-Audio products and I think Jonathan is right in as far as I had loaded a 300 pretty much to its limit at a current draw of about 210 all together. I later switched to a 600 and had no limiting of dynamics whatsoever. So I guess Sean's hypothesis above is pretty much correct. Cheers,
my personal fave is the bybee rebuild by TG audio. bound for sound loved it as well. ---its effect in my system was nothing less than dramatic, startling, ridiculous. bought it in 1 min audition (and i already had a vaunted PC in my system, which shall remain nameless to protect the guilty).

from what i gather, the PS Audio only helps if you're out in the boonies...not good for city folk, but good for country folk. power regen the further you are from the grid becomes more important evidently.

Not on your list, but you can't make a short list of "best power conditioner" without inclding the Burmester. Pricey, but worth every cent.
I like none of the power conditioners for amps. They condition power which means the amps are getting the real thing. They are fine for digital equipment and video. However, I agree with Jeff_s that the way to go is the Equitech balanced power system. Go to their web site for the specs. but this isn't conditioning, it is balanced power which had my electrician scratching his head when he put my wall unit in. It is clean and provides all the protection you need for you system. In my application I had numerbers lines run to where I was going to use a/v equip. and got clean undisturbed power. My stuff is plugged straight in the wall. They have rack units as well.
