Need for Power Conditioning??

Hey all,

If one builds a new custom listening room and invests in a serious power system, like Equi=Tech and puts in high quality wall sockets, would one need to use a power conditioner/distribution system like those from Shunyata, Walker, HB Cable Designs, etc??

If someone has clean power coming from the pole, the room is properly grounded, and you have a high quality install, why would someone still need any of the products I listed?? Just curious!!

Cheers,

Every electronic device you use contaminates the mains; your amps dumps noise into the mains that your DAC and pre-amp must consume. They in turn do the same.

Best is to have at least one form of conditioner per audio component. Needn't be an expensive boutique gear. A capacitor-inductor-capacitor filter for each device works magic and makes a huuuuge difference.
