I'm building a new home theater system and I'm trying to do everything right. I've invested in high-quality speakers a powerful receiver and a state-of-the-art projector. I want to make sure that I'm getting the best possible performance out of my system and I've heard that power conditioning is important. Your video has been incredibly informative. I now understand why a power conditioner is more than just a fancy power strip. The explanation of the three-tier filtering system on the Taga Harmony PF-1000LPS is very clear. I like that it filters both AC and DC power. The fact that it has a variety of voltage outputs is also useful as I have some components that require different voltages. I'm impressed with the build quality and the features of this power conditioner. It seems like a solid investment that will not only protect my equipment but also enhance the overall performance of my home theater system. Thanks for the detailed review and the helpful explanations.
I have a high-end system and I've always worried about power issues. I've used regular surge protectors in the past but never a dedicated power conditioner. Your explanation of how a power conditioner not only protects against surges but also filters out noise and stabilizes voltage is very helpful. I've definitely noticed some inconsistencies in my system's performance and I suspect it's related to power quality. The Taga Harmony PF-1000LPS seems like a good option with its multiple outlets DC output and various filtering features. I'm especially interested in the linear power supply and the audiophile-grade fuses. I'm going to do some more research on this model but your video has given me a much better understanding of why a power conditioner is a worthwhile investment for any serious audiophile.
A new batch of the snake oil for $400. Don't forget to buy a $600 audiophile power cable and a $1200 audiophile fuse. Otherwise, your sound will be sad, and the investment won't be worth a penny.
@ Easy. Same as “silver cables improve clarity”, same as “the fuse change attacks and fullness”, the same same the conditioner (worth like 10 basic UPSes) help to fix the things that have >1% in the “To improve” priority list. Basic UPS will save your hardware much better on a stage 1, built in fuse in the hardware save it on the stage 2, and any normal extender has built-in power surge protection. So it is a sneak oil. Improvement just for improvement but not for a few pennies, but for $400.
@@NineBunBun There are many types of UPS, and they likely kill your dynamic sound signature. That is unless you test them out beforehand... one by one. Honestly, this idea with "snake oil" oftentimes seems like the ostrige that puts its head into the ground so that they wouldn't see the danger. The same here, it's like a self-induced forced answer that people say to themselves so they don't spend more on supporting the health of their equipment, especially when there are countless measurements done for most of the conditioners, distributors, and power supplies.
@@vladionescudimancea2069 Well, if your hardware is so vintage that doesn't handle modern electricity specs, then you 100% need to buy Audiophile Magic Brick! Otherwise, you're just ignoring the DAC, AMP and other hardware vibrations that kill sound signature! It is just $100 per piece! Almost free! And nothing about snake oil here! Vibrations exist and affect everything from sound signature to soldering on boards and connectors!
@@TheAudioStuff There is a power supply in all electronics. Electronics run off DC not AC. The AC is rectified to DC by the power supply. You also have filtering and smoothing capacitors after the rectifier. There is no "dirty" AC wave left.
"Snake oil"? Okay, so by this logic, there's no real sound signature difference between an R-2R and DS Dac. There's no real sound signature between a tube amp, a digital amp, and a solid-state one. Oh, and yeah, the grounding in your home and residual electricity is just a myth. Basically, everything is just in your mind... and what a wonderful one you have...🤡 Honestly, these are just cheap excuses so you won't accept the fact that you need indeed to spend more money to maintain good health for your system and sound. P.S. The air around the globe has the same structure, and yeah, it's just air. But wait... for some reason the air in certain countries and cities is purer and cleaner... surely this also must be on our mind as pollution is just a construct of the mind...
I've finally understood why some people call obviously important things "snake oil". It's just that they're too lazy to try stuff, and it's a made up excuse not to do it. It's like saying "eehhh, all DACs sound the same, so why should I put time, money and effort into it?". And that's how it works. Of course most people aren't like this, but ones that are, are also very happy to comment about it haha
Doesn’t have to be expensive to try a basic power conditioner. Obviously it’s not on this products level, but I use two Tacima CS947s. Very highly regarded, won lots of awards and only costs around €40. Made a noticeable difference to my systems. Everything just sounds less bright and fatiguing now and sounds seem to have better separation. Well worth trying for yourself. I do believe this product probably makes a much greater difference, especially as it includes a linear supply as well, but for a basic conditioner the Tacima CS947 is great. I use mine in conjunction with Low noise SMP’s and it sounds great.

This video convinced me I need one, I'm getting this exact one from Taga next week
The phase detector sounds useful
This is helpful I've been wondering about power conditioners
Eight outlets is plenty for my setup!
I've noticed voltage fluctuations in my area, it's pretty bad here in the NY
Can i use this in canada?
@@viencarlodiego8842 Im not so sure, what voltage do you have there in Canada?
@ 110v
Cleaner power definitely makes a difference, I've experienced that multiple times

No technical details whatsoever...
I've made timestamps especially for people like you, take a look at the technical specs section.
