Will power conditioning really help?

Been reading alot about SB2 etc and how having clean power really makes an impact on sound quality. Can someone go in depth for a newbie and explain why this is so? Do I just need a power conditioner or is there work to be done on the actual oulets and power system? How should I incoporate these benefits in my current system?

Totem Rainamakers

Modded SB2

P.S. Due to room constraints and lack of space I do have both my computer system and audio and t.v cable box. What can I do in this situation to improve power?

Thanks everyone.

Daimbert, this is a great opporunity for you as a newbie to search the archives. This topic has been discussed thoroughly from the house breaker panel, to dedicated lines, to outlets and outlet covers, power transformers, power conditioners, contact paste and power cords.

Have fun.

i would ask you this,what made you think you needed help with power issue's in your system to begin with,i mean are you trying to correct a noticed issue within the way the system sound's or looking for a dramatic sonic benifit as some have described.

unless you hear something that you attribute to power issue's then i would reccomend to either be happy with the gear you have or upgrade a component instead with the cash.
