Monster Power conditioners. Anyone using one?

Yes,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I know that there are much more expensive power conditioners out there. I've read all about the Changs, Audio Magics, Richard Gray, Shunyata,PS Audio etc.

The thing is, my gilfriend wants to buy me a $300 gift and unfortunately, nothing I want is that inexpensive. I currently don't any power conditioning on my system.
I'm looking at the HTS3600 as a starter power conditioner. Any opinions or other suggestions?

Hey Distortion,
Maybe it goes into the realm of quantum physics.... It sounds better, but the sound produced is distorted....

there is no spoon..

Well Tom, i sure. did.

Cant say i noticed any difference either.

then again, im delaing with gear that is not quite up to par with yours, so it might not really be detectable. Maybe i need better equipment to show that weakness.

Im going to keep that in mind though, once i get into my new house and am able to start working on my rig again

I researched quite a few power conditioners, and I finally decided on Monster, mostly because of the design team behind the development of it. They've got one of the leading experts on AC power designing their power conditoners and voltage regulator. I own them both, and so far i have seen some improvement in video and audio resolution, I don't think it really justifies the cost, but it's cool to have anyway. Later. Readster

Thought I should share my input with Panamax and monster power. Long story short. Bought Panamax 4315pro just for my dac(LKS004), and ifi usb, musical fidelity DDC to feed my two boys(Genelec 8050b. Plug both directly into 20A cryo outlet.) compare to direct plug to wall, Panamax sounded chocked. Especially high current ones.) disappointed, at the same time bought $10 used monster power HTFS500 for my tv in bedroom. Thinking what the hell, can’t be worse than Panamax. after plug DAC in HD input, ifiusb/ DDC in accessory input(only Two outlet), WOW! Different! Yes. Clean. Yes. Almost too digital, my two girls came out of their rooms asking what’s the change?? I did not see that coming. Was suppose to be for HDTV input, now I’m in hunt for HTFS1000 . Already went thru cyberpower battery power plant last month. No improvement, but annoying buzz. Got rid of it quick, before boss(wife) finds out. Panamax sure looked great inside, but my boys with all customs wires, cables, did not like it.
