To Equi-Core or Not to Equi-Core? That is the question!

I'm now ready to upgrade my  power conditioner. I've been reading the posts about the Equi-Core 1800 and the recent problems of Core Power Technologies. changing ownership. It seems that they are now under more stable ownership (Underwood Wally). Besides the good reviews by pros and owners, the size meets my requirements. I don't have rack space for a full width (19") unit.  Otherwise I may spring for a Furman. But The EC seems to be quite a good bang for the buck ($$$). I know there have been some changes to the build. So the question is are they for the better? I'd be glad to hear from owners of the EC 1800 or those in the know. Thanks

I have held off buying a conditioner after finding PerfectPath and another company's offerings (who's name I can't remember). Considering the improvement, I wonder if I might not see the same out of a less expensive module IE Furman PST-8. with the PP offerings

Timmy  can do ANY conditioner.... his advice? STAY AWAY FROM FILTERING!  <3 
 <3 This Equi-Core is virtually a glorified voltage regulator. No filtering. It's the perfect piece. It's a nice, simple, well built unit. <3 

Anyone would wants to call Timmy to discuss their power conditioner, he's happy to help!

 I would contact Tim for his advice on what he can recommend. I guarantee you will be giddy after you get it back and insert in your system. It was markedly better as soon as Tim sent it back to me but got so much better within another 3 or 4 days. After 1 month I was just so impressed. Then last weekend just short of 60 days I was wow where does it go from here as my system just sounded way beyond what I ever thought it could. It is like all the noise and interference is just sucked out of your system and only music is left. Greater dynamics and more lifelike timbres too.
