Monster Power conditioners. Anyone using one?

Hey Distortion,
Maybe it goes into the realm of quantum physics.... It sounds better, but the sound produced is distorted....

there is no spoon..

hehehhee

I have an HTS-2600, it works just fine. noticeble sound improvement, and only runs 350 bucks.
dont let eveyone lead you to believe you need to spend 700 on a power conditioner. Im hoping that 3600 that allowed 270 volts was just a faulty unit. My HTS 2600 did an excellent job of protecting my equipment during a lightning hit.

remember, the whole point of the power is for A Surge protection, and B to clean the power up.
Its more for A than B, Definatly A is more important than B. The power conditioner is just another tweak.

Plus, Monster's customer service if above first rate. If your power supply crapps out, they will send you a new one, once you reciever that, then you return your old one.

If you buy opne from Ultimate Electronics, SoundTrack, or Audioking, they are distributers and if it craps out you can swap it out for a free new one. I swapped out one that lost its stage 2 circuitry (i assume from the lightning) about 2 years after i bought it, no questions asked.

Also, if a surge frys your equipment while it is protected by monster power, they will replace up to about $40,000.00 of equipment.

So as long as your rig doesent pass the 40k mark, if it gets fried, you get all new gear.

hows that for protection????

hahahahahahaha

well,
i guess if you have 5,000,000 you wont be messing around with monster huh?? :) hehehe

Im sure there is stuff better out there, i just think monster has a pretty decent product with pretty good service, wasnt my intent to knock any other companys! :)

I cant say anything about panamax because i havent tried one yet, im sure they are good products because they do get respect on the gon', i was just spouting what i DO know about! Plus, he asked about monster power conditioners. I know there is better stuff out there.

Maybe MY nose is angled too far down to see the stuff up above! hahahah

Plus, i said dont let anybody think you NEED a better unit, i dont think you do. you might WANT one though, depending on what quality of gear you are putting into it!

PEACE!

Do you guys actually believe that? that no power protection is good? how so?

-----Slappy's disclaimer-------
i dont mean any offence in the above remark, so it it appears offenceive that was not my intent, and i apologize in advance for any offence anybody might have taken
-------------------------------

Fee Fi Fo Fum, It takes two to rumble but just one to run, because an ounce of protection beats a pound of lead.

Sweet dude.

Ya know, i have been using a line conditioner for about 2 years.
Maybe i will try it without one this evening.

and pray to got some wierd ball lightning phenomenon does not occurr at that precise minuit! :)

If it turns out that mine sounds better without a line conditioner, im gonna be annoyed that i bought one and used it for 2 years without noticing.:)

ya know dude, i gotta give you credit for perseverance! after a 2nd line conditioner i woulda quite. hahahathathat attitude is probably the reason im not a denver bronco huh? hehehe

the roof the roof the roof is on fire...

Wow, im learning alot here.

I was under the understanging that you need a AC filter to cleanup the power to get the most from your system.

Seems most people who have replied on this believe that this is not so, that instead it degrades the preformance..

Later on this evening i will grab a power strip and try that. see if it makes a difference in my system

so, if it degrades the preformance of the equipment, how come so many people here on the gon use one? or is it probably alot less people than i think?

Well crap, i dont have enough plugs in the wall for my gear. I need at least uhh... 1.2.3....4... maybe 5?

i dont get it. it seems like everyone here is agianst power conditioners, i thought everbody was for them... does anybody use these but me?

Well Tom, i sure. did.

Cant say i noticed any difference either.

then again, im delaing with gear that is not quite up to par with yours, so it might not really be detectable. Maybe i need better equipment to show that weakness.

Im going to keep that in mind though, once i get into my new house and am able to start working on my rig again
