Line Conditioners, UPS, Power Regulators

[bogsle]

Guys,

I know how important it is to protect the audio gears we own. I understand also that power protection and conditioning devices have an effect on the audio performance of our gears.

Somehow, I found out that there are different ways of doing this, and these have different effects also on the sound repoduction of the audio system. Listed are some of the things I've tried.

1. Power Regulators = don't really know if they are really regulating anything at all. Parang maliit ang tunog.

2. Line Conditioners = I've tried QuiteLine. Talaga bang lumilinis ang power going to the gears? Oo luminaw ang TV ko, pero sa audio performance, could not really tell.

3. UPS = I've tried APC UPS with power regulation and conditioning. Noticably details were heightened. But I'm not sure if it is enough.


So far, I have not really tried the exotic types of power management devices and conditioners like PS Audio, or Monitor Accoustics. But before I invest on one of these things, is it possible if you guys could share your thoughts and experiences, and recommendations.

Would appreciate all your help.

Regards,

Ok, so walang gumagamit ng such devices.

Audioprism Foundation III- compared to the generic data/computer line conditioners, this product 'unveiled' the music. I was not a believer till I tried this. The music is crystal clear/transparent after. Maybe its because of the dual ACFX filters: one for both digital & analog sources, the other for the amplifiers.

You will only know if they work, if you try such devices in your system.

Thanks for the tip.

Where or how can I get this locally and how much does it cost?

Thanks again for the help.

DCM Audio (c/o Melvyn Chua) is the official distributor of AudioPrism products. Unfortunately, despite excellent reviews of their products, I was told that Audioprism is closing down. You can contact DCM Audio or pm them over at WS. You can also contact Sonny Tuazon at Home Theater. He is a dealer of Audioprism products.

For Sources like CD player, DAC, Pre-amps, I'm voting for PS Audio
For Amps, Shunyata research (Hydra) is the best so far
of course for me!
