However, after running an A/B test, I concluded: "Why do I even need a Power Conditioner?" The answer was that I didn’t. As a result, I purchased two more power strips for my media closet, which controls my whole house and theater room.
this is a very important statement and the reason why everything should be taken with a grain of salt…or 3.
Finding out a power conditioner brings no added value in your system and declaring QSA power strip is better or just as good as your power conditioner that you don’t need is 2 different things.
Not a good look. Some in this thread were fighting for your credibility.
With your $500,000 system the power supplies in your component should be so robust that a power conditioner will at least be unnecessary. Ethernet filter - not needed: pure BS in most cases…you just hope it won’t hurt anything. I sold my Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System as its effects in my setup resulted in degradation of sound quality. Not surprised you didn’t need that Muon either.
