Currently through Amazon.com, one can buy the $400 list price Monster HT3500II for under $150 delivered. Now this is nothing more than a glorified surge protector with some filtration. BUT for the price, it's a pretty nice chassis to add some substantial upgrades. (note that the Amazon.com offer is being sent from Parts Express)
Now usually I don't post about projects before they're built. But I doubt that this special offer is going to last long enough for me to get the device, make all the mods, test it out, then post the info. So if you're a bit of a gambler and want to play along, grab one of these and we'll see what develops. (If what we do is too weird for your tastes, you can return your non-modded unit or keep it as a pretty outlet strip)
Just for fun we may add-in a small balanced power transformer, if there's enough space inside the chassis.
PE p/n 122-720 $70+ shipping
For those noobs to the forum we've rebuilt other people power conditioners before..... http://home.comcast.net/~thomasw_2/T...tSoundKit.html
And we've built several low cost complete DIY power conditioners as well....http://home.comcast.net/~thomasw_2/CheapskateBP1.html
So we're not exactly starting off blind with this newest project....... :T
