Who has dumped the power conditioner?


Hello,
I recently replaced my mains conditioner, with a high quality power strip.(Oyaide MG).

The sound is now more detailed, dynamics I didn't know I was missing are back, and air and separation have all improved.
I am interested if anyone else has gone back to basics?
Cheers

Just sold my Furman IT-Reference 20i. Like many of you, I had relegated it to HT-only duty after I installed dedicated lines and Teslaplex receptacles (and a Shakti Stone or two along the path between the panel and the receptacles).

I finally decided to sell it to partially fund recent purchases of SR Tesla cables.

I would like to try the SR Powercell SE sometime in the future. Several of my friends have one in their mega-buck systems and they seem to feel it is the best upgrade they have made in years.
I've got to weigh in on the Powercell 10SE as I purchased one two months ago and feel that I have now passed the "I liked it at first but took it out because it..." phase (which occured with the Furman IT-Reference 20i I sold a while back).

Absolutely phenomenal. I run my entire 2 channel system (including my Krell FPB600C) and all my HT equipment through it and the improved dynamics, dead-quite noisefloor, and cavernous soundstage continue to blow me away with every listen. The picture on my plasma TV was vastly improved as well.

Just can't say enough good things about the Powercell. I think that SR should have not branded it as a power conditioner since it is really entirely different in concept, design and performance than the others.
