Sound Application line conditioner experience?

I owned a Ref Line Stage for a short while. In my system, used with both Elrod and Purist Audio power cords, it made the music sound somewhat suffocated...as if it couldn't open up and breath. I soon sold it.

I have two local audio buddies who both own Sound Application conditioners, and their systems sound excellent.

The SA didn't work for me, but it works very well for many others.

Tvad, You had told me that the XE-12, which you got from me, didn't work in your system. According to your post above, you also tried the Reference Line Stage in your system. How did it compare to the XE-12?

I am talking about the same unit. As you know, and as I was told by the manufacturer, the unit I owned was comprised of RLS circuitry, and was written as such on the casework.

I should be more specific about the unit I owned: XE-12 with RLS Circuitry.

John, I'd like to hear the RLS in my system, but even if I thought it was superb it's price tag is beyond my budget at this time.

Personally, I'd like to see Jim W. build a one or two duplex box with the same quality level of the RLS. Not only would this offer a more cost effective option, but it would be more practical, IMO...especially for systems with monoblock configurations.

How many of you RLS owners use all twelve(?) outlets?
