[dean1979]

Hi! I have same problem... Im just starting to search info about to build a power conditioner but have problems finding a more "concret" help. I found John Risch's Web page... he has two links to a DIY AC Power Line Filter & Surge Suppressor and DIY AC Balanced Power, some more interesting links too, but Id like to have more info about what need to do a power conditioner exactly and how it rules. The web of John Risch with the links is
"http://www.geocities.com/jonrisch/index2.htm"
I hope that it helps you... if somebody has more info about power conditioner Id like to know it :grin:

First of all, what makes you think you need a power-conditioner? Don't expect these things to remove hum & buzz in your system. There are better (and perhaps cheaper) ways to solve these.

i have filters with like 5 things plugged in, they do all right but i can still get pops from switches, so a filtyer for each socket seems logical. I luckily dont suffer from hums so much exept for comp monitor vs guitar. A lot of my stuff is digital and i though if there was a way to guild a filter as i buy gear, it would be a good idea. My computer and motu 2408 used to be happy but now the when the graphics move it makes the sound fuzz, i dont expect a conditioner to clear it up but if it keeps pops and spikes from getting to my expensive sensitive gear that must surely be a good thing.

I want it to estavilitze possible high voltage transients, stabilitze it (my AC voltage is a little high) and to be shure that if there is any hum or buzz it is not by AC line. What people use to acomplish that?
