Anyone have any first or second hand experience with this unit? It seems to fit the bill and the budget for what I'm looking for.

    It's a great device as far as i'm concerned. I have my onkyo 807, tv, bluray, sub hooked to it for HT and the readout on the front only says i'm using 29% of it's power handling. It looks and feels solid. The back is as clean as a victoria secret models a$$ and the front display is perfect. (hold on while i go hump my h15)...........................
    It's a no brainer. the price is right and it does what it's supposed to. Done Deal.....Place Order

    That's 29% at an idle load I'm sure.

    Not sure what you mean, but the % is based on maximum sustained output.

    I'm not quite sure what i'm talking about either. After re-reading what i typed last night i came up with one basic conclusion. Don't drink and type on a monday night or you'll look like an ****. Wow, that truly is a disturbing post. I hope i didn't really hump my 15?!

    Here is what a sober me would say. "With all the devices plugged in and running, the APC15 has a lot more headroom if you wanted to say, plug in an amp, game console, a lamp, phone charger...etc."
    Don't know why you would condition a lamp but maybe some don't like the light flickering like an open flame during storms.
    For the price, it does what it should. Pretty blue lights can be dimmed if that's not your thing. Buy

    29% output at the time. That's what my post was about. He may be using 60% when all of his gear is actually working and reaching maximum output. An amp wont be sucking 100% of it's power unless called upon.

    no joke. the silvers (which were the significantly cheaper ones) are discontinued and the black ones are around 500 in the states.

    I love my H15, but no way do I think it's worth $500.

    I bought my silver H15 two years ago from Tiger Direct for $99 because it was a discontinued color. I would have bought a PS Audio Duet or MIT Z conditioner if I was spending $300-500 or more.

    @ $400-500 the H15, IMO, isn't as good a deal.

    I was referring to the price of a APC S10, not the H15, my apologies for the confusion.

    I got my H15 for 258 shipped from buy.com

    Ah, ok.............still APC lists a retail of $450 on the H15, that's too much, but then who pays retail.
