Power Conditioners Necessary?
A number of friends and relatives have flat-screen TV's they've bought
in the last couple of years, along with consumer-grade audio systems, AND they have those Monster (brand) power conditioners. You know Monster-they're the folks that charge $100 for a 3-ft. length of wire. Anyway, places such as Ultimate Electronics and Circuit City are pushing these devices, usually those made by Monster. Lately, I noticed APC was advertising their power conditioners in a consumer electronics/computer magazine. I've got a lot of high-end audio and video equipment I've been using for many years, in a variety of cities, and I DON'T have a power conditioner; heck, I don't even have any surge suppressors! I've never had a problem with most of my gear--at least, not problems that could be attributed to power fluctuations. Question is: are these things really worthwhile or necessary? -- Thieves get rich and saints get shot, and God don't answer prayers a lot. |
