We were surprised the first time we heard it. In fact we were very skeptical, how can changing the power cord on a cable box make the picture better, or how can changing the power cord on a receiver ultimately provide better sound? Be prepared to be amazed, we were. The difference was significant, not only on our demo system in the store but in our homes as well.

Line Conditioning and Surge Protection
Line conditioning (often referred to as power conditioner, or power line conditioner) is a device intended to improve the quality of power is delivered to electrical load equipment. While there is no official definition of a power conditioner, the term most often refers to a device that acts in one or more ways to deliver a voltage of the proper level and characteristics so the load equipment can function properly. In some uses, power conditioner refers to a voltage regulator with at least one other function to improve power quality (e.g. power factor correction, noise suppression, transient impulse protection, etc.). The terms “power conditioning” and “power conditioner” can be misleading, as the word “power” here refers to the electricity generally rather than the more technical electric power.”
Adding a good line conditioner/surge protection device will not only protect your equipment from damage done by the constant fluctuations in voltage, but it will improve your picture and sound. By eliminating most of the noise on the AC line. View a quick video that explains why there is noise inherent on AC lines.
