    Not only the benefits described but also protection for your equipment.
    Sounds like a win win.

    What’s on its way? Should we assume it’s a AQ product since you posted about checking them out locally yesterday?

    I've got everything audio related in my system getting it's power from the Shunyata now and the improvement was not as dramatic as it was when I hooked up the Mcintosh.

    In addition to everything in my signature, I also have my pc plugged into it. My amps are still plugged directly into the wall.

    In my experience, if one is expecting a night and day difference one will likely be disappointed. It's more subtle.

    Agree, it's subtle, but noticeable.

    This is what I am expecting, when I first started this hobby, and started using a Monster/Panamax/Furman. they were subtle, except with the TV, that is where it really shined IMO..

    Nonetheless, I have been using this Panamax for many years now in my 2 channel set-up, I would assume/hope I will notice a difference between what I have coming, and the Panamax.. B)

    I have been wanting the Panamax to go a long time ago, but something else to upgrade made more sense at the time.

    Either way I will be glad to see it go..

    I was not expecting night and day either. The improvement.provided by the Shunyata is subtle, but cumulative. By that I mean that everything sounds just a bit cleaner,vocals instrument separation, soundstage… improved slightly, but taken as a whole presentation, once you have stopped focusing on trying to hear something different, the totality of the improvement becomes more apparent

    Why not try one of the Puritan power products while you're at it? Upscale Audio has a generous trial/return policy.

    If you have an emi tester watch what happens to the 120 leg you plug your pc into and switch it on. Now that is a dramatic difference and even moreso when measuring the power coming out of the back of the conditioner.
