I know this topic has proberly been disccused in one way or another, but I have to admit I was not a fan/believer until I witness the results for myself. When I put together my 2ch setup in the living room a few years ago I didn't think about the possible circuit issues I would have. I mean my house was built in 1993, and it never cross my mind that even a newer built home would have dirty electricty. The wall outlet that I used to power the system is on the same circuit as the kitchen, so when the ice maker or microwave kicks on I would get a pop sound. Now I only was looking to rid myself of the this potential speaker killer as I use a power strip to protect the components.
I picked up a used Panamax 500 DBS power conditioner off ebay to replaced the power strip. To my surprise not only was the popping sound gone, but the overal sound of my system was better. Being pleased with the results with my 2ch setup I picked up another unit, Panamax M4300-EX, to use with the HT system. Now I was only looking at improving the sound but what happen next was a AH HA moment. My 55" was showing signs of dying pixels in the form of graying area on the panel. After connecting the power conditioner, within the next month that graying area has gone away completly.
So I have to say that I am a BIG believer in power conditioners providing that much needed clean power to your system. We are always talking about the little things that can effect our systems and just like me I am sure there are others that may feel that the wall outlet or even a Wal Mart power strip is enough to protect your system, think again!
Anyone else have a similar experience?
