Adding a few more pieces to the studio soon and will be formally installing everything into a new "proper" studio rack. What power conditioner would you recommend for a small home studio?

FYI, the gear list includes a power amp, Chandler Limited RS124 compressor, Avalon U5, Teegarden Audio Magic Pre (mic pre), tuner, etc. I'll be adding another mic pre and assorted goodies.

Thanks for your input!

Any cheap $80 furman will do. Unless you spend a lot of $$$ (like $500+) most power "conditioners" are just regular surge protectors that happen to be rack mounted. It's when you get into the $500 range that you start seeing line regulators and other features that may (or may not) be helpful to you.

Monster 7000's and 3500's. Used to use their VariAC (can't remember the model) until the power company finally figured out that I wasn't crazy.

That all said -- I don't think they even make those anymore. They're wonderful units - Especially the 7000's.
