Emotiva CM6 Power Conditioner/Surg protector

[martois]

Putting out a plug (pardon the pun) for this affordable power conditioner. I was noticing a dull quiet rhythmic tapping-like sound with my new amplifier. Nothing really perceptible unless you got right up next to the speaker. I was using very old low budget basic power strips, so I thought I would try something nicer but pocket friendly (relatively speaking). Got everything re-plugged in and the difference is noticable. No more background noise and even think play back is a bit improved. Bass just sounds a little tighter, more “air” around everything. Cheers!

I would never recommend passive power conditioners, as putting things between the power outlet and equipment just adds unnecessary impedance to the system. (Surge protection is fine as it only operates when there is a surge)
If you want to add something that does make a difference to supply, the get a re-generator, as being active it will give you low impedance as well as a consistent supply of power.

It will also do a good job of reducing your bank account..... 🙂

To some degree yes but so does any hobby.
It's up to you to decide to which degree.......

Probably will take this advice once the impedance to my bank account recovers! Lol

I cannot afford a regenerator, or food, because I keep buying SACD's
