Line Conditioner or New Power Cords?

This is a which comes first thing with some audiophools: the chicken or the egg. There are NO power cords out there that can do what an excellent power conditioner can do. I'd start (it is the way I did mine)with the best power conditioner I feel comfortable with and modest quality cords. That may be the end of your electric journey. In my case, as you can see, I went for different power cords. Dedicated outlets+power conditioner+excellent power cords = electric nirvana. You'll never look back..warren

I went with line conditioner first.
Afterward, midprice powercords turned out to be enough.

Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced line conditioner with surge protection?

Thanks

I have yet to hear of reasonably priced = excellent. I love the Audio Magic line, but would go with Sound Application in a flash, as well. Oooles of Audiophools love the Shunyata Hydras. I have one on my rig for my TV room. Very nice, indeed.

Depends on what you consider to be reasonably priced. I'm using a Running Springs Audio Haley, which I was fortunate enough to buy as a demo. There are many out there. Some others that come to mind that I considered are APS, BPT, Richard Gray, PS Audio, and Exact Power. A lot of people seem to like the Shunyata products. What you'll find is that there are many philosophies to power conditioning. This includes active (such as balanced power and power regeneration) and passive (such as filtering) approaches. Many will claim to be non-current limiting and non-coloring. Only your ears will tell if their claims are true.
