I have used virtually no power conditioners/filters over the decades I've been an audiofool; I have used brand-name spike-protecting outlet strips on most of my equipment. I recently had installed 3 dedicated AC lines into the musicroom, but as my system gets more resolving, I'm increasingly convinced I need to do some filtering, etc. to the AC lines.
I've been reading very positive things about PS Audio's new line of AC filters/conditioners... http://www.psaudio.com/power.asp plus http://www.psaudio.com/products/noiseharvester.asp . I plan to evaluate the Quintessence to power all my frontend gear and to use Noise Harvesters on the AC lines my 3 poweramps will be plugged directly into.
The Quintessance's 5 outlet zones, isolated from each other, sound like a great idea. Also, PS Audio distinguishes between and protects from Voltage surges and Voltage spikes, the former being of perhaps 10 - 30 Volts and the latter being possibly hundreds of Volts.
We'll see.
