Power Conditioners


What are the disadvantages of a power conditioner that has current limitations as opposed from one that is not current limiting?
And if the current limiting power conditioner is balanced, would this istill make a difference?

There are a number of moderately priced power strips which do not seem to limit power, and, at the same time, provide clearly audible improvement in the sound of plugged in components.
I guess this is in Stehno's passive line conditioner category, or perhaps the stealth (with apologies to the superb Audio Magic Stealth Purifiers with a capital "S") conditioner category.
I still extol the virtues of Mapleshade Records top of the line power strip, despite the fussy way that its four parallel wires have to be separated on their route to the wall AC.
It is surprisingly counterintuitive to hear better sound when more wires are added to lengthen the path along which AC travels, even when you don't upgrade the wall outlet, or have a dedicated line.
