Monster Power conditioners. Anyone using one?


Yes,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I know that there are much more expensive power conditioners out there. I've read all about the Changs, Audio Magics, Richard Gray, Shunyata,PS Audio etc.

The thing is, my gilfriend wants to buy me a $300 gift and unfortunately, nothing I want is that inexpensive. I currently don't any power conditioning on my system.
I'm looking at the HTS3600 as a starter power conditioner. Any opinions or other suggestions?

Just because you have $300 to spend doesn't mean you should waste it on inferior power conditioning, that will, probably, have a deleterious affect on your sound system. It sounds, to me, that is where you're heading. Save your $$ for an Audio Magic Stealth Mini (used) and buy yourself, for the $300, two Lat International power cords. You'll be VERY happy while you save for some killer conditioning. peace, warren
Hey Slappy, I'm not against power conditioners. I'm against inferior conditioners which usually screw up the music, rather than let it happen. I don't relate to anything you're using. Just having your cdp on the same line as your analog is a big negative. Electricity is very mystical. Its' properties hard to define, measure, and really understand in the "sound" sense. I'm in heaven with my Audio Magic stuff. (read under system) I did have the opportunity to disconnect everything and listen with and without, several times. Even with dedicated lines, there is a VERY big difference. Soundstage like I never heard. It's a personal thing. Very system dependent. Save your money and like Tom said, put in some dedicated lines. At least separate your digital from your analog. That may do it for you. When you got the $$$, buy a used Audio Magic Mini Stealth and the Mini digital. That'll, probably be your first step in upgrading your entire system. It was for me. Funny, though, after I thought I was done I traded up to the Audio Magic Matrix. Now I'm there. I know it's a temporary thing, but it's great for now. ...now, to get into montor stands...just fool'n ya. BTB: Tom, your laconic way is so refreshing--to the bone.. peace, warrren
