Power Conditioner Helpful?

I have dedicated lines with Cryo'ed Hubbel outlets and good power cords. My sonics, which mainly come from analog, do not sound at all grungy and the background seems pretty black. But I do live in an audio tunnel and have no chance to a/b or hear other systems so there is the chance that I don't know what "better" could be. Do you think I would benefit from a power conditioner? Cost/benefit is obviously important. My front end is Avid, Tri-Planar, Helikon with an Art Audio Vinyl One. Thanks.

I strongly and respectfully disagree with Timo. I'm not a fan of the PS Audio's electric regenerators, but I do love the Shunyata Hydra and the Audio Magic line, even more. The Sound Application line is also wonderful. Watch the 'gon and see if you can pick up a used Mini Stealth. Once you hook that baby up you will be released. I have gone from their Stealth, to the Matrix, and now, the Eclipse. A world class power conditioner with matching power cords = electric nirvana. A significant component of any audio system. peace, warren

I added Audio Magic power conditioners to my system and could not be happier. I think they are a great product and well worth the extra money.

Check out the Running Springs Audio products. They appeared in all the best rooms at CES.

Richard, given the dedicated lines and your comments re a low noise floor and lack of grunge I'd suggest you buy more software, not hardware, and enjoy more music!
