Power/Line conditioner


I was given a Power/Line conditioner that was used on a large copy machine. It is from IEPS electronics model LC1500. This unit remanufactures the power and delivers it at a constant level. I've read that some of these type of units are "made" for stereo equipment, and this one was definitly made for office equipment. What information do I have to look for on the web site to tell if this unit will be beneficial to my system? The price was right, but I dont want to degrade from what I have now.

Forget them all, go with dedicated lines. I've had the gammet of "conditioners" (excepting the kilo$ PS audio). Some improvement, but not worth the cash. I had the good fortune to have a 400amp main in my house. I had my electrician put in 4 40amp breakers ( though fuses are supposed to be better, but ultimately less convenient). Then I just went ahead and had two runs of 10ga. for each line to some modified hospital outlets ala. Sergui at interlinkhouse.com. Also used his 10ga. silver plated ofc for the star ground configuration. Results...incredibly clean, fast power. The whole thing cost way less than the PS device. Only concern I have is what happens when lightning strikes!!?? Anyone have the answer to this? BTW Redkiwi has written a bunch of feedback on using a dedicated line/ground system in the past. Look up his stuff in the archives if you wish to pursue this option further. The only place I see for these conditioners is if doing such a modification to your homes' wiring is out of the question i.e. apartments etc. Enjoy the obsession!
