Iam new to Line Conditioners. My dealer handles the Panamax line and is offering me the Max 5510 for my Stereo set up which includes PrimaLuna pre and amps, and B&W 804s speakers. I would appreciate any evaluation you can give me on the Line conditioner. Thanks. JNorth1178

Do you have dirty power in your house? If not, a line conditioner serves no real purpose. If it doubles as a surge protector, many amp manufacturers nix the idea of using these as most well built amps include their own protection circuits, and whole house protection is ultimately better and possibly cheaper.Santino

I don't know much about the Panamax line, but I would say that a good line conditioner is a must. It is true that many amp manufacturers do not want you to put their amps behind conditioners, but the reality is that the power to your house is not that clean these days. There are way too many things outside and inside of your home that inject noise into the ac line. while some equipment will handle the noise better than others, I would say it's best not to have that noise reach your equipment at all.
A whole house solution is great at eliminating outside noise but not for the appliances that generate noise inside of your house. I don't think you have to go nuts with the conditioning either. I currently use an APC unit that only cost a few hundred dollars. I don't think you need to spend thousands on a unit.GregComment

My Dealer just called and let me know that the new power/line conditioners are in they look awsome. I had them order the 1092 dvd player and the 1040 line condiioner for me.
Will pick these up later this week. -
Does anyone here have experience with Rotel LIne conditioners[RLC-900 or RLC-1050]? I'm looking into getting one because of the horrible ground in the place I'm renting. Thanks!
Scope!

Hi all,
I'm looking to get a power line conditioner for my 1066/1075 set as an upgrade. I realize I could've posted this in the other forums and I'm a little sluggish to do a search on the subject (please forgive me), but I wanted to see what successes you Rotel folks have had with line... -
I think this is still on topic as it has to do with the end sound coming out of our speakers.
Question is: I have heard from some experts that some line conditioners can over filter the electricity causing a montone feeling to your system.
Now I have a problem in my town... -
First and foremost...how do they do it??...mainly the price.The new 1040 is going to sell for less than 500 bucks.It has all the amenities...multi-stage protection,isolated noise filter banks,and here's what gets me....automatic voltage regulation.
M**ster has their AVS 2000,which retails...
