Power Conditioners

SHUNYATA Denali 6000/S v2, Typhon T2 Power Distributors with Sigma XC Power Cord and Typhon T2 Reference Umbilical.

I had the Denali 6000/S v2 for a while before the Typhon arrived. Indeed, each of these power distributors can be used standalone. The Denali 6000/S v2 by itself was a delight and I could only have written a glowing review. In combination with the Typhon T2, I found new depths in each and every record I listened to.

PS Audio Power Plant Premier Power Regenerator

The PPP takes "dirty" and variable AC power from the wall socket, converts it to DC voltage, and then regenerates a new AC sine wave signal at 120 volts. It also serves as a surge protector and all-around power distribution system.

Furman IT-Reference 20i Power Conditioner

I've been suspicious of power conditioners ever since they first appeared – sometime in the Jurassic Park period I think. Just like the science in that movie is a little glossed over, so is the science of AC power glossed over by wild claims for power conditioning products.

Nordost Thor Power Distribution Center

Nordost's new power distribution center is called the Thor. In my system, it took music reproduction to an entirely different level. Within minutes, I felt that everything I had heard before was merely play-acting. What changed? Images that had previously floated in their correct little spaces in that classic, somewhat disembodied "audiophile way" now seemed to hold together in a far more realistic manner. They weren't simply arranged or staged; they belonged together.

APC S20 Power Conditioner with Battery Backup

When I was asked to review the APC S20, a power conditioner with battery backup, I didn’t fully appreciate how important or perfect this unit would be in controlling and protecting the gear in our Home Theater, but after using it for a few months, I now consider the APC S20 an essential part of our setup.
