Why? Simply put, the power from your local utility is unstable, noisy and distorted. Anyone with an expensive high end system knows that performance is compromised and components are at risk of being damaged from exposure to the voltage surges, distortions and the familiar "dimming light bulb" or "sag". These problems cause 90% of AV component failure. There is also no doubt that the Power Conditioning category is full of hype. The best way to protect yourself from wasting your money is to be informed. PurePower products are based on science and sound electrical engineering principles, not voodoo. Here are the top 5 questions about AC conditioning you should get the answers to before you buy. 1. What's the difference between a power conditioner and a power strip? 2. What are the most common AC problems? 3. Do typical power conditioners protect my system from all ten Power Gremlins? 4. What is AC Regeneration? 5.
