Hi everybody,
I was looking into power conditioners, but was not able to get very much info(probably looking in the wrong places), anyways I was just wondering what you guys would reccomend for under $300 if there are any good ones in that price range. Thanks,
Icarian

Might be worth your checking out options from Tripp Lite. These are generally cheaper "audiophile" brands but do the same thing.

Personnally I'd look at one of their isolation transformers ...

E.g. their IS1000 model is about US$200.

Although it has been discontinued, the Adcom ACE-315 line conditioner/surge protector is still being sold at www.wildwestelectronics.com for $230. I don't know what other prople think about the unit, but it works for me. I don't notice any real audible difference, but I feel safer using one. I really don't know if these power conditioners make any audible differences anyways.
