I use a Monster Power 3600 and a Monster Power 1600.

Anyone else?......

I've got a Monster 3600 too.. at least I think it's a 3600...

Sucks though, because when certian things turn on in the house, I can still hear a pop.. just not as loud as it used to be.

I use an old Tripp-Lite Isobar 4 if you could count that. It does cut down on EMI/RFI very nicely, especially when I have my laptop plugged into it with the audio gear for some internet radio or such.

That does suck as that was the only reason I was going to get one but if they dont even do that I'll stick with my APC unit.

3 Furman PL-Plus conditioners and 1 Furman PS-8 power sequencer.

Nothing electronic in the house affects them in any way.

Chang CLS 9600 ISO (living room system) and CLS 305 (bedroom system). No electrical issues here.

And another vote for Furman. I use a PL-8 Series II feeding a home made balanced power transformer which has a medical grade Corcom on the balanced side feeding my amps and pre-amp.

Absolutely nuttin' gets through.

Nope, I have built-in protective circuitry; but I do use a surge protector

I've got the big daddy Monster HTPS-7000 MkII power conditioner and Monster AVS-2000 voltage regulator. They are both very nice pieces of gear and, to my ears, make a noticeable improvement.

I used to use them but I don't anymore. I do believe that a good has it's benefits however I haven't found a good one for less money than a new component...and the new component always wins...:music:

Nope, don't use one. Don't seem to have any issues with power that need fixing by way of a power conditioner.

With my 2-channel system I use a DIY balanced power unit with a Q type isolation transformer from Equi=Tech for analog and a semi-custom wound transformer from Toroid Corp. of Maryland for digital. With my HT system I use a Belkin PureAV PF-60 conditioner but more for its triggered switching, convenient AC source and surge protection than any conditioning.

Yep, use a Monster 3600MK2 fed by a dedicated line to the box and a new line pole power transformer, courtesy of the power company!

I have used an Adcom ACE-515 for years. It has served me very well (no static and/or pops & steady line voltage). :music:

Got an APC H-15BLK and so far it's doing exactly what it supposed to do. No Complaints and the price was very right, don't even think about paying MSRP for one.

A fellow Australian AKer and myself both correspond on a regular basis.
He told me about a conditioner from China that a friend is the distributor for.
Curious,I asked whether it was possible to arrange a home audition.
Well,when the thing arrived I didn't want to send it back.
The brand is 'Longyu',and there is next to no info on the 'net.

I have a Furman Elite-15 DMi. My 2 channel system and my HT system are both plugged into it, including the TV and my powered sub. :yes: I also bought a Furman PL-Plus II for my son to plug his bass amp into while on the road.
