Panamax 5300ex vs. Rotel RLC-1040?

[slowrey]

Okay I need a new line conditioner and I already have a Panamax in the living room. I have been thinking about moving the Panamax to the bedroom and buying the Rotel for the living room. I see the advantage of the Rotel is that it does Voltage Regulating. Am I correct on saying this?

Which would be a better choice?

Just double-checked and per my other post, yes the 1040 does real time voltage regulation.

Panamax has been doing it for a very long time. There very good at it. Rotel just got into the game but that doesn't mean there not good at it.

The 2 units you want to use, post the spec's and I bet we can help. Rotel makes very nice everything and I can't see going wrong with them, same with Panamax.

I own the Panamax M5500ex and I love it.

If I am not mistaken the Rotel is basically a APC 15 that has Rotel Skin

Well I realize Panamax is good however APCC isn't anything to cough at either. I have a hard time believing that Panamax is far superior to APCC when it comes to line conditioning, voltage regulation etc. Maybe I'm wrong.

I doubt there is any measurable difference in the choices mentioned here. Get the least expensive one or the Rotel if you need the cosmetic continuity.

Panamax and APC/Rotel are both good units but I'll always recommend APC products from the good history I've had with their computer and HT products :T As a bonus the APC/Rotel does the voltage regulation you mentioned as well.

Well quite honestly I think they were just trying to sell me a Panamax and a Richard Grey.

I'm going to buy a Rotel when I get back off of my business trip.

Richard Grey does make nice gear but to get the same features albiet at an equal or higher quality, you'll have to spend a LOT more money on seperate components.
