Effective AC power conditioners for digital??


Have you found power conditioning (not just isolation) to improve the noise floor, dynamics and detail presentation of your CDP? If so what models have you found most effective?

I have a Chang Lightspeed CLS6400ISO conditioner and a Furman IT-Reference 20i. With my Ayre CX-7e CDP, the Chang makes a very slight improvement (maybe) and the sound takes a step backwards with the Furman (although this is an excellent conditioner with isolated balanced power receptacles and does very well with some other components).

I would agree with some of the other posters that selecting a good CDP with proper power supply design is the best solution if you believe you have a problem that you think would be solved with a power conditioner. If you just want to (greatly) improve the sound of your current player, I recommend a good power cord (Tel Wire or Synergistic T2). You will be absolutely amazed at the improvement.
