    I had one long ago.Its ok for low power systems I guess as long as you can get one for around 50.00...Otherwise I would go with something from PS audio like one of those UPC units if you can find one.

    It's got more bite than you think...it will run 750 watts average output and is decent design. I had good luck with mine and the delay on/off for your amps is handy as well. For the money they sell for they are a good buy used.

    I was thinking about getting one of those, but ended up getting an APC H10.

    I had several people advise me of the possibility that the ACE-515's could get a bit worn out over time. The surge protection circuitry ages and can become a lot weaker.

    Personally, I'd pass on it and get something more up to date. The APC H10/H15 are both excellent units, and can be had for real cheap.

    I don't have any experience with any of the PS Audio units, but they get real good press.
    The nirvana inducer-
    APC H10 Power Conditioner
    Marantz UD5005 universal player
    Parasound Halo P5 preamp
    Parasound HCA-1200II power amp
    PolkAudio LSi9's/PolkAudio SDA 2A's/PolkAudio Monitor 7A's
    Audioquest Speaker Cables and IC's

    Haven't used the Adcom but look into Monster, Belkin, or APC.

    Uesd one for many years, bought brand new from "The Good Guys", now defunct.
    Anyhow I digress, never had a problem with it. Amp delay feature worked really well.
    I upgraded after a few years for video reasons (excuses). Ok if your getting a good deal
