Removing power conditioner...

So after a couple years of just assuming my system was better with a power conditioner in it vs none, I took mine out for a quick test and was suprised at how different it was. I think I like it better without.

However, it occurred to me that I would have an issue as one of the benefits of the conditioner was that it provided many outlets for all my components.

For those of you in the 'better without a conditioner' camp, do you use any sort of power-bar or similar item to plug in all your components?

I have a dedicated 20amp circuit for audio, but only one outlet.

Thanks in advance.

The power cable feeding the power conditioner is absolutely critical and often the weak link of any conditioning system. Many cables just can't keep-up. I've experienced this multiple times.

On the other hand, an excellent power cable on a great conditioner or well-constructed power strip can benefit the entire system.
