Will I benefit from a power conditioner ?

[Sherm]

you can see the Home theater system I have in my signature. It's not a high end system but a decent one. would I see any benefits in Audio or video by adding a power conditioner?

[kpkelley]

You may want to add a back-up power supply in order to protect your projector from a blackout. Bulbs need to cool down,which they can't do if the power is off.

You will probably benefit by having "cleaner" and less noisy AC which you will probably notice audibly with a blacker background and sound as well as visually.

Biggest benefit will be protection of your equipment. As mentioned the bulb in the PJ.

I doubt you'll see any PQ or AQ differences, unless you currently have audio buzzing in your system.

Honestly i would say dont be expecting much improvement if any for audio and/or video. I would say its mainly for piece of mind for saving your equipment...

- In regards to the back up battery for bulbs, i have a dlp and have seen about 6 power outtages since ive had my tv while watching it and the bulb has been just fine...

Probably at least to some degree. The better the unit the more the affect.

Here is a review of theAPC H15:

thats what I figured the main reason I was going to get it was for the protection but well the apc give out clean power or should I be looking at another conditioner.....I really want the Panamax 5400 but I dont have that kind of money to just drop on a power conditioner

Yeah, it conditions the power as well as cleaning up line noise and regulating the voltage and all that good stuff. I have the HT10 which is the same except for the LCD display.

I just pick up a second hand Panamax 5400PM.
Where can I find " monaural analog mimi cables" ? Neither BB or CC have them also tried Blue Jean Cable and MonoPrice. I want to use the remote trigger in/out jacks.
