I like the fact that most of these forums tend to be very scientific types - a good dose of skepticism is needed when dealing with audio equipment.

I was wondering if anyone here uses power line conditioners and notices any aural difference. I realize that they are a good thing to have (for equipment protection), but I'm debating the purchase of a decent Sentrex 12amp line conditioner for < $50, or something like a Monster HTS-1000, which seems to get good reviews, etc. - and runs a little less than $100. Just the fact that is marketed towards the "audio" market makes me skeptical. Kind of like how CD-Rs for music are 2x the price of CD-Rs for computers...

I have this idea that I could market an "audiophile candle" that burns with a "specially calibrated wax" that "will release a thin smoke to sweeten the resonance of the air surrounding the listener." I think it would cost something like $1500.

Any and all comments welcome...
