I work at an A/V consulting firm and we have a relatively hard-core audiophile on staff. He recently brought in a Monster power-conditioner and demoed it for some of the staff in the office, stating afterwards that we should begin specifying it on all our projects. While such equipment can help in specific situations he obviously didn't understand the theory behind its operation. Fortunately he's a great salesman (his position is sales) and he doesn't do any design work. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com
