How Important is power conditioning if you have

your inability to hear a difference must be due to using cheap outlets.... hah hah.. (inside joke for all you others wondering ??)

I started with a cheap conditioner and it did not make too much difference. Though it was obvious it was altering the sound, ust not all in 'nice' ways. Then a better one, now i use a Furman REF20i for all my componets except digital. For the digital i use a PS Audio P600 with the optional board which allows my to set it to output A/C power at 110hz instead of 60Hz.

Elizabeth, how can equipment designed for 60Hz function as intended when increased to 100 Hz? What voltage do you set your power at?
I used 2 dedicated circuits for my audio equipment and I think my power is just fine. I don't get the sense that I need more filtering or regeneration. In essence I agree with Taters on this one.

In my shop I have all dedicated 20 amp lines with $200 Furutech outlets, and quite frankly I find good power conditioning mandatory.

I use the Running Springs products and I find them to make a huge difference in my display systems.

Sound stage width is improved, image depth is improved, bass tightens up.

Audience are good, but it does depend on the model you used, the higher end units with the teflon caps are much better,

I have never liked the PS audio conditioners, or any other reqenerator.

When using a power conditioner they are very system dependent and you also must make sure the piece you use has been broken in and warmed up sufficiently.

If adding a good power conditioner is not audible it may also point to a lack of resolution, elsewhere or something which is causing you not to hear it.

Again from my experience the differences should be quite obvious. I have purchased close to $40,000.00 worth of power conditioners for my shop, and I did have to purchase them, if they did not work I wouldn't have bought them.
