Yeah, they get REALLY exspensive. What I would like to do when I buy my own place here in the next couple of years is to have dedicated lines run in with hubbell outlets, voltage regulators, and a power conditioner. I have read over at audiocircle that plugging the amp diorectly into a power conditioner isn't the greatest idea, why, I haven't any idea as the conversation was in the empirical audio forum, and quite frankly that Steve guy who owns the place talks well beyond my understanding of physics etc. Thanks for the link Jonny, Uncle Sam might bring me a power conditioner here in the next couple of weeks. I also bought a used pair of Bloder M-80 speaker cables, with plans on going to the more pricey nitro's in the near future as well. If anyone is ever in Iowa, lord knows why, but you are more than welcome to stop by and hear it for yourself. The hospitality is first rate too:-)
