    Does this mean I actually need a power conditioner?

    Hi everyone, My system always used a power conditioner/surge protector, mainly because I used to live in a place with very questionable wiring and a lot of ground issues. Having moved to a new apartment which is much newer and in which my system is on a group it doesn't share with any other...

    Power conditioners Snake oil?

    Does anyone swear by these? I needed a power strip with a lot of outlets and saw this cheap at goodwill. Needed to replace some capacitors to get an inop voltage display working again. There’s a lot of “stuff” going on in there! Wether all that stuff is doing anything is another story. I haven’t...

    Richard Gray 600 RM Pro power conditioner

    Hi guys, I wanted to share some pics of the Richard Gray's 600 power conditioner I've just received, as I couldn't fine any on the internet. It has 6 sockets on the back, 4 separately switched, and 2 permanent, and 1 convenient one on the front of the chassis. The 2 bypass switches for the...

    Surge Protectors or Power Conditioners

    Hello All, I was at the local HiFi store today, and the gentleman I was speaking with is what I consider a very knowledgeable man. We started talking about power amps and the use of power conditioners. I mentioned that I have all of my gear plugged into surge protectors. He recommended that I...

    Power Conditioners... the final frontier

    I've gotten so much good guidance from AK over the years, I felt it was high time for me to share some of my experience that might help somebody make a decision. I've been wanting to write something about this situation for a while but just haven't found the time. I'm home sick today, though...

    Core Power Technologies EQ cords

    I bought one of their Equi=Core 300 models back in the summer of 2016. They advertise as if it's a power cord, but actually it's a Balanced Power transformer device with built in cords. The 300 in the name means I could only plug in 300 watts of equipment, so my preamp, DAC, and server got to...

    Hello and a Power Question

    Hello all, this is my first post. I have what I consider to be a slightly unconventional mid-range setup, so always looking for advice. I'll upload more info shortly on system specs, but here is a short rundown on my system. It's somewhat (in my opinion) unconventional, and I would describe it...

    Budget (but quality) power conditioner, surge suppressors?

    I haven't really experienced any issues in the past with surges or anything, but I was considering making an upgrade to my protection for my system, plus possibly throwing in line conditioning as well. I currently do own a power conditioner, but I am using it for my home theater system. It's a...
