turns off and on components I have had this product for a few years now, bought it to prevent the pops when the a/c when on. It didn't eliminate them, but did reduce the popping. But I really like the auto turn on and off of my other components in my system. |

I have really enjoyed this unit to date. The minor inmprovement in sound qualityis really overshadowed by the way it times amplifier shut on/off to avoid system pops through the speakers. If you use 5-6 mono amps you can leave them all powered on and this unit will shut them on and off. nice |

Strength:
Protection against spikes, Timed turn-on for amps.
Weakness:
Reduces top end detail, hurts system coherence I used this unit for almost two years before someone suggested removing it as an experiment. What a difference!!! This thing kills treble detail and makes the whole system less coherent, more closed down. IF you have decent electronics you are better off leaving them un-plugged when not home to protect them, as this thing won't save them from a close lightning strike anyway. Similar Products Used: none |

Strength:
It does what it claims
Weakness:
definitely needs more plug ins. I have had this unit 8 years and it still works like a charm, and for the price as compared to the other high end conditioners, this beats them hands down for the price |
