But I am not persuaded by the scientific studies I have read that a properly designed power supply won’t already be doing the job a mains power conditioner purports to do. And I assume the power supplies in my Meridian equipment are properly designed.

I had the same assumption concerning my DSP5200SE, but was persuaded to try Shunyata. Perhaps it's due to the fact that these devices store a reserve of power -which they can deliver instantly beyond what my mains can do directly- that gives me decidedly better dynamics and a more solid bottom end in addition to great clarity. Fortunately a fellow hiker wanted to move up from his TritonV3 to their new Everest model, so I saved a few dollars.

I've seen the now-discontinued Denali marked even further down -and such a good deal that I bought one for my other Meridian system. I'm a believer.
