Benefits of power conditioning

Start out with one or two Blue Circle BC86 Mk3 Noisehounds. For $100 each they are the best bang for your buck. Your system is small enough to just get the smallest Music Ring if you are on a budget..

I have experienced benefits from all of the power conditioners I have used. I have only had three. I don't remember anymore what the first one was, the second was a noise trapper which I sold to a friend. Now I have a Tice powerblock. Each time I bought one I heard more of the same improvement I mentioned in my first response. The Tice is the best of what I have used, but there are lots of them out there. I have considered selling my Tice and getting one of the PS Audio on AudiogoN, but so far I have no experience with their amps.

I'm not sure how much you want to spend, or what you consider to be reasonable. So again, I'm not sure what to recommend. I have never heard of the 'Blue Circle' stuff mentioned above. Maybe they are a good option.

Personally I like my Oneac and Powervar power conditioners. They work wonderfully and are much less money for a superior conditioner. These are TRUE power conditioners. You can get them on Ebay for a fraction of what they cost new. Go to Powervar's or Oneac's websites to learn more. As a side benefit to those of us with alot of components the isolation transformers help keep the ground loop nasties at bay. These will actually protect your components much better than a good portion of the "audiophile" conditioners.

Which models are you using?

Thanks

I'm using the Powervar ABC 700 11 for home theater stuff. And a Oneac CP 1107 for my preamp and dac. My amp I plug into the wall. Paid 45.00 including shipping for each of these. The Powervar is a 7amp output and the Oneac is 6.3 amp output. Plenty of headroom for what they're used for. An added benefit also is they will quiet the picture on your tv. I live near an industrial area and originally wanted them for power problems I've been having. The sound is better now with the power conditioners in line (like listening late at night all the time). Ebay is your best bet for these. I'm afraid I seriously doubt the audiophile conditioners are any better. These things were designed for labs and hospitals and are therefore not as cosmetically pleasing as the specialty models by Monster and the like.
