I used passive power conditioning for quite some time and then went to active
(balanced, power-factor corrected power) and enjoyed the result very much.
I have recently sold off the latter unit and am plugging straight into a custom-run
dedicated circuit (solid-core high-quality oxygen-free copper, flexible industrial-grade
conduit, Oyaide R1 cryo'ed outlets) with great sound. I was surprised at the result
after all the positive results I'd seen with the later unit I had utilized together with
alot of top of the line (expensive) power cords from a high-quality audiophile firm.
Several folks on the forums advocate taking amplifiers in particular straight into a
good dedicated circuit with nothing else in the middle...
