Well I first thought it was hooey about conditioning too, but after that little incident we had wierd things going on. Bulbs didnt last, the stupid clock for the microwave was always blinking 00:00, that alone will drive you nuts.
We placed several calls to the power/ electric company about the goings on, and after a few days we had 3 large bucket trucks show up at the house with all kind of maps, charts etc. trying to explain how all the so- called problems we Not there, but to be sure they attached a recorder device to the house power input to "view it anyway".
In a seven day time frame we lost power 12 or 13 times for a very short time, power was all over the place for voltages...one guy said he had never seen such as this.
Then they really went to work and in a few days they discovered a grid feed that was cross wired (a to a and b to b, etc., wasn't correctly done) so every time they had checked it before it always looked fine... The grid service was over a mile away that fed the last 8 houses on our side of the block. Since then, Bulbs WILL last more than a few weeks,light dont glow as if you had a dimmer??? Wierd. But best news all is calm on the power to the ht setup.I replaced the circuit breaker for the ht line and the 20a outlet too, just to be sure.
If you ever have a breaker blow more than 2 times... replace it. It will always be weak from then on.
The power guys were impressed on how there was no more low noise on their side of the lines, Trash, and I was too.
The Greatest people to work with in my opinion are the Panamax crew....
Traded up from a $50 surge box to the 5100 EX "AND" the subwoofer single outlet plug-in at 1/2 of retail. My options were to send in the dead one for replacement or
upgrade... Done deal! Highly recommend !! Wonderful experience.

Is there such a thing as too much equipment?
