Two of the most highly-rated power conditioners today are the Silver Circle (Tchaik) and the Running Springs (JACO). The SC is based on inductors; the RS is based on caps. Two questions:
1. Is one technology inherently better than the other for the purpose?
2. Has anyone compared the two types (not necessarily the specific ones mentioned) in their systems?
Thanks Much

The Tchaik is mostly an isolation transformer. It uses a tiny bit of induction, ferrite?. My experience is not good with ferrite. One of my customers does not like them either, and promptly sent back a unit based on them. I've found even putting ferrite beads on cords is bad. But I haven't heard the Tchaik, so I can't say for sure.
The Running Springs is a bit harder to know what is going on. The filter names it has are, well nothing standard to the industry. But most the unit is similar to Audience Adept's AR series. There is just only so much you can do for conditioning power.
Where are you located?
