Monster Power conditioners. Anyone using one?

Geez guys tell it how ya feel why dont ya.

I use a HTS3600, it made a noticable improvement in the noise floor. My main amp plugs directly into the wall. Only my Pre, sources, DAC, Sub controller, TV, SAT, etc make use of the HTS3600.

I plan on trying a PS audio ultimate outlet with the main amp, I want to clean it up and give a modicum of surge protection without sacrificing dynamics.

It is my understanding that the HTS3600 will only provide about 1800 watts and 10amps give or take. Not enough, IMO, for my main amp, but plentiful for all the other stuff.

For the peace of mind (surge protection) it was worth it to me. Some power conditioning is better than none.

Did I mention it looks really cool too.

Sure there are better and if you can afford them go for it, Audio Magic comes to mind, along with PS audio, richard Grey, etc.

Its a toss up between Panamax and Monster IMO.

Hope that helps. Sounds like you have a "keeper" girlfriend, I wish mine would wanna help buy audio goodies.

Slappy, apparently our noses arent properly angled upward. We must have passed right by the quality stuff and ended up in "inferior product" limbo.

Seriously, for around $350.00 the HTS-3600 is a nice piece, I will admit that the $1300.00 Panamax that Rwwear compared it to, probably is better.

Slappy, have you been drinking?

I dont use anything on my main amp, but as indicated in my original post, I might try a PS Audio Ultimate outlet on it and my sub in the near future.

"The switching of the AC line is intense, devices like resistors, capacitors, wire etc. will resonate or ring to the tone of the 60 HZ; this creates distortion. The greater the overall resolution the more obvious this problem becomes"

OK, so I want some AC conditioning right?

"Surge protectors attempt to “clamp” the AC; produces even greater harmonic difficulty."

So I dont want it?? Elaborate please. I understand the implication, but it lacks an explanation.

" Systems with low resolution will APPEAR to produce a cleaner signal with a line conditioner."

Alright, so systems with poor resolution will "sound" better, but in actuality they "sound" worse, when AC conditioning/surge protection is present. Is it safe to assume high resolution systems will "sound" worse but in actuality will "sound" better under the same conditions. I need to brush up on my Fractal Geometry.

Forgive me, but I more confused than ever now. Or maybe I am thinking clearly and I just think I am confused. Aww, forget it, maybe the Alligators know.
