Well I surely didn't intend to open a can of worms. I was only asking how to compare one conditioner to another. I am aware of the debated validity of 'line conditioning'. Personally, I just want the surge protection. A power conditioner can provide that while maintaining the aesthetics of my living room (would fit nicely into my rack and would aviod having a powerband lying around on the floor etc.).
Even though I only want one for the power surge protection, I just can't part with my hard earned dollars without doing the homework. Thanks everybody for your input....its what makes this board enjoyable and educational.
