Power conditioning

Running Springs Audio Duke and Danielle

here we go again. the power coming from a wall outlet should be 110-120 60hz. It is not always that. Everyone should have a power conditioner that gets rid of the "grunge" that comes down a power line, eliminates rfi, and keeps the output to within the 110-120 range. A lot of inexpensive power conditioners have been doing that for decades. Buy one that has been rated for hospital use. Tripp lite is a company that has been around for a long time. Clean power is clean power. Your components are designed to run on 120 ac, that's it. Expensive power conditioners, to be blunt, are a waste of money. Buy more music. Listen to more live performances. Remember, the power at the outlet is traveling on 50 cent a foot Romex. Every system should have a power conditioner, no one has to have an expensive one.

Another vote for the Pure Power APS, in my case, the lower output 1050. A very clear improvement in clarity and minimising background noise. Now I am thinking of adding a Quantum Q2/4, will it never end?

Here we go again, someone trying to tell people how to spend their money. Everyone should listen and judge for themself whether a particular line conditioner is worth the money. I use balanced power and find that it works well for me. The technology has sound (no pun intended) theory behind it.

What I do balk at is the thought of some of the very expensive line conditioners that have "technology" which the manufacturers are not showing us. Personaly, I would like to know exactly what I am being asked to pay a whole lot of money for. Nevertheless I don't begrudge anyone who thinks these products bring improvement to their system.
