Now, usually, I am very cynical when it comes to certain components but after deciding to protect my equipment a little with a surge protector, my search/research led me to a 'mains conditioner and surge protector.'
There's a definite difference and to my ears, it's quite an improvement. This has obviously got me wondering how much of an improvement I can get with Clearer Audio (or similar) power cables (and just how far in general I can push the components I've already got.)
So, does anyone use/rate upgraded cables and if so, what do think?
That 'review' says absolutely nothing about how it works and like most hifi literature, is stuffed full of total bullshit.
If your power is noisey a conditioner can help but changing power cables will achieve nothing apart from disproportionately emptying your wallet.

I found a Tacima CS947 ( http://www.whathifi.com/tacima/cs947/review )for the same price as a Belkin multi-socket surge protector so thought I'd give it a go.
