OK heres the question aside from the surge protection value this adds. Have any of your been able to hear a difference. I demoed it in store but sometimes demos are deceiving..... I would swear up an down the highs are more detailed. I would like to say the picture on my new Samsung LNs-4095 is better but I would be talking out my ****$. just got it day after my Ht-power center came. I cut all my shelves to seperate my power, signal and speaker leads so they all look nice and in there little rows.

    When I was in my old townhouse my first upgrade that made the biggest difference was a Monster HTS 2500. Now that I have a dedicated circuit, there really is no improvement with the Monster. In fact, it can not handle my amps let alone every thing else BUT I would recommend one for a receiver based HT with efficient speakers.

    I just bought a hts 3500 mk2.
    The first improvement i noticed was a clear, better defined picture with brighter colors.
    It also improved the sound but not as much as the picture.

    I saw no picture difference with my power center. However, I had a ground loop hum caused by my TV cable which caused me to use an inline hum reducer. After purchasing the power center, I was able to remove the hum reducer from the cable line. The power center worked wonderfully to remove the hum.

    I had a nasty ground loop from my amp until I put my hts 1600 in. It killed the hum. I use one of the conditioners that go over your outlet for my sub and tv. I really didn't notice any picture difference though.

    First off you need to protect your investment. Period.
    Second, clean power is clean sound and picture. Everything else is a bonus, not to mention they look really good on all racks.
