Just out of curiosity, whats wrong with power conditioners? I see it a lot, but have never heard/read the reasoning.

 

 

Mostly, they do nothing you need. Your gear has noise filtering already, there's no power regulation, and the surge suppressors are typically MOV's that blow out in one surge, usually with no indication that they have so you don't know you're no longer protected....but on occasion will fail spectacularly...catching fire inside the unit.

 

Money better spent on good receptacles in a solid box with or without a decent power switch. That's another common weakness....power switches that can fail at just the wrong time.
