Hi John!Good to hear from you! No...I haven't purchased a power conditioner for two reasons.1) There seems to be as many detractors as there are proponents for the use of power conditioners.2) My wife spent the money that was set aside on a new bed!What can I say? "The best laid plans aften go astray!"Best regards!Bob[/quoteBy the way, I have 2 pair of Infinity Alpha 20's (retail $400 pr) that I could trade someone for a good power conditioner such as Blue Circle. The 20's use composite ceramic/metal cones that are very stiff and as such do not distort like other materials. These Infinitys are built in Denmark! I have a pair of IL30's with the same technology that were manufactured in Mexico. The Danes have a very high level of fit and finish and are like new, purchased new within a year.
I am debating whether to get the JVC F10 or the new Panasonic Xr55. My speakers are 86db 6 ohms, and the receiver will be mainly used mainly for HT and like to hear at high volume. Any recommendation between this two?
I continue to listen in amazement to the little JVC wonder. It really is a giant killer. I have wondered myself about the newer, more powerful JVC units though. The only thing I can fault the JVC unit for would be lack of power/headroom. I would also worry that the new JVC units won't sound as good as the F10.
If I still used AC in my main room, I would be using the JVC. Use clean power, it can get about as good as you need an amp to be, without spending multiples of thousands of dollars. JVC hybrid digital + Power Conditioning = Sonic Bliss Forget the arguments about power conditioning, it is ESSENTIAL with "digital" amps. Otherwise, you are not hearing the JVC's full potential. Couch Dude will no doubt agree
The F10, tho rated at 100 watts, acts like a brawny 40 watter....
