I believe this is all dependent on one's system and local power supply. In my system (and it's highly resolving), neither the addition of The Bybee Signature or Audio Magic Stealth Mini had an appreciable effect that made the expense worthwhile. My system sounds very clean and "black" going straight to dedicated Hubbell outlets. I agree with the concept of buying used to experiment. That way you have the ability to recoup the cost of the unit if it doesn't blow your skirt up.
Power Conditioner Helpful?
I have dedicated lines with Cryo'ed Hubbel outlets and good power cords. My sonics, which mainly come from analog, do not sound at all grungy and the background seems pretty black. But I do live in an audio tunnel and have no chance to a/b or hear other systems so there is the chance that I don't know what "better" could be. Do you think I would benefit from a power conditioner? Cost/benefit is obviously important. My front end is Avid, Tri-Planar, Helikon with an Art Audio Vinyl One. Thanks.
