I've fallen back into obsessive mode and having a HiFi spending purge I've noticed that my sound is never consistent in quality might be my head haha.
This would be a for a Meridian 808.2 into DSP7200.2, I have dedicated mains at present I was looking at puritan 156 I didn't want something that would chock the dynamics.
Anyway anyone had good experiences with mains conditioners?
Thanks in advance,
Justin
(HAPPY NEW YEAR BY THE WAY !!!)

For the same money you can upgrade to 818v3 (assuming the kits are still available) which will give you a guaranteed and significant upgrade.

Following VirusKiller’s suggestion earlier this year, I bought an APC Mains Block. Previously, I was prepared to spend serious money on a Russ Andrews Mains Block.

Many of us here are fans of the Shunyata power distributors and cables. There is nothing inside that could strangle power delivery and they can be found from time to time for sale on the used markets. For low power devices such as my 818, I've also found the PS Audio P5 effective, however they don't work well with the DSP speakers.

I have found the reliability of PS power products to be poor and their ability/ willingness to support even worse over the years. When the products worked they were good.
Shunyata /Denali I found very effective on DSP’s.
808v6 I detected less benefit.

I have found Vertex AQ and Quiescent power conditioners to be very good with my Meridian system. They help lower noise floor, increase detail, presence and dynamics and give tight, extended clean bass.

Thanks for posting this. The conditioner does not even appear to be star wired, which I would have thought was a minimum requirement.
