i need a power conditioner. monster?

Powervar or Oneac, both commercial power conditioners that actually do what they are designed to and can be had for cheap on Ebay or here. Used for hospitals labs or wherever microelectronics need to have clean power. Go to Powervar's website and read up on it. You'll find Monster would be a waste of alot of money.

Monster is bad. At least the less expensive models - which I've used and found out that it kills the detail.

I use Chang Lightspeed. It's not too expensive and it actually helps the sound out a tad without bad effects. I still plug my amp into the wall however since it does negatively affect the dynamics.

I have finally sold my avs 2000 so there are no pimping comments in this post.---I owned the avs2000 for near 4 years. ---The big improvment was to the picture quality of my big RPTV.--- I see so many jumping on the "Monster-bashing" bandwagon. Well as they say, small things amuse small minds.---"M.C." was better to me than ANY other high end co. I ever dealt with. NOBODY ever replaced a unit where "I" caused the failure; then sent out a brand new unit,before the old one was picked up--and all for free.---I was honest and told them of my screw-up. 74lbs;overnight,for free??? That's service.

I am very happy with a Panamax 5300 to filter power to my McIntosh tuner, preamp, amp, and CD player. It also filters the power on my 32" Sony TV/Monitor and my Panasonic DVD recorder. I would suggest a modest upgrade, however, and chuck the stock power cord and get an upgrade - possibly a PS or similar.
Great quality and my audio system is dead quiet unless some audio is playing. TV picture always clear and clean - unless Comcast screws up with a bad signal on one or more of their channels. DVD recordings are very crisp and clear.

Look here at my review of the Equitech 5Q from their official website.

I still own the unit and it is FANTASTIC.

Avoid Monster and Furman.
