what is a power conditioner supposed to do?
I mean they are all filtering and treating the AC, yet the audible effects are so different. I mean what the heck is going here? How does the Eclipse create such an atmospheric soundfield as opposed to one that is more dense and massive via the PS Audio or Equi=Tech? What’s the deal? After all it is just a bunch of electrons so how can running a component off one versus the other result in such a shift musically? Obviously, they are filtering or addressing different areas of AC noise and whatnot, meaning that some are doing things to the AC that either are not an issue here or that I really do not care for what they are doing at all. Perhaps the Eclipse is the lesser of the bunch, meaning less is more. Heck if I know, but I heard what I heard and the differences are quite remarkable. Downsides? Well the Eclipse would hardly be considered inexpensive. It does not feature a fancy box that weighs a tonmeaning with really heavy cords it can be moved about a bit against its (and your) will.
