Hello I would imagine if Power conditioners and/or voltage regulators are worth being part of your
hifi system, then you would need to set aside a bit of a budget as an additional component.

I was shown such a unit - brand is "Exact Power". 8 outlets for 5k. That's pretty much
the cost of my better components. I was assured considering the 'dirty power' I have in
my area I should experience a 50% improvement. That is a big statement !!!.

After taking a look at the very few reviews available, this brand was reviewed in the past
(an older model), but the reviewer claimed it removed the buzzing/interference noise
coming out his tweeters. I must say I do occasionally hear interference and twilight
zone sounds through my tweeters, which I find annoying.

5k tho, geez, in times like these of economic strain, it's a good thing our hifi components
are not edible, or I'd have my plate out now.

I'm convinced the equipment I have is worth at least power surge protection, however we
dont' really get that many spikes/surges (touch wood), in winter it happens a bit, as it
would, but not a very troubled area.

So Power conditioners and voltage regulators, are they rubbish ? or worth the investment ?
Even if it is, what proportion of your total budget should the conditioner/regulators
be ? 20%, 25% ? 33%, 50% ?

Grrrr the pursuit of the perfect listening environment, why does it have to cost so much
money ?
