Surge protection and power conditioners QUESTIONS????

Posted by Time_Stands_Still (A) on February 23, 2007 at 02:43:00

Hey all, looking for feedback and other thoughts on the various power conditioners? You see these going for as little as a $100 or so upto many thousands of $$$.

I have two surge protectors connecting a variety of audio/video gear into each. These are your typical $30-$50 ones with their multiple inputs and protection for phone lines etc. They offer the protection guarantees and I have no problems with these in feeling good confidence for surge, rfi protection. BUT! how about the units that offer power line conditioning? I believe these offer surge protection but are they as good as some comments made by their makers say in improving sound and picture quality over not using one? I see units from makes like Panamax and Monster etc. in the $100-$300 range, some designed to sit in your shelving unit/rack. What are any of your thoughts on the benefit to first audio quality and second picture quality? Or is it just well enough to keep using a standard $30-$50 surge protector?

THANKS IN ADVANCE.
