I'm setting up a new Evo4 Gen II-based system that I plan to run in balanced 2-channel mode. I'd appreciate any advice on power line conditioning from Evo users.Specifically, how do Evo's respond to AC line conditioners and do any particular products/filtering approaches work better for Tripath amps than others? Thanks.

and get outstanding performance. Not only does this medical grade isolation transoformer clean up the line, it adds minimal impedance as well as offering superb common mode attenuation of 60Hz harmonics and noise. Differential noise attenuation performance is also quite good. This is the unit to beat for power conditioning, especially for efficient power converters like switching amplifiers. For class "A" and other more inefficient amplifiers, these must be applied with care as the added impedance, though small, can work against you in some cases where there are lots of peak demands. Basically this means that the conditioner just needs to be oversized a bit for these higher dissipation linear amps.
eVo 6 Gen II bridged with PC Van Den Hul Mainsstream, HMS wall socket and reasonable power bar, nothing else mains wise...

I plug my eVo 2i II directly into the wall. As Kuma stated, try different power cords. The amps are amazingly sensative to different PCs, and to vibration control.

I use eVo6 straight out of a dedicated circuit. It sounds the best that way to me.Do expermient with power cords, tho. eVo responds well to it.
I am using an Evo Gen II with the capacitor upgrade in differentially balanced mode with an ExactPower EP 15 power conditioner. I will say it works extremely well. The area that I live in has a very active power grid with an immense amount of noise on it. The ExactPower eliminates this noise and puts out absolutely stable noise free 120v 60hz power.It is so stable my turntable, which uses a dc servo motor system, is now always right on in speed stability no matter what the Department of Water and Power feeds my ExactPower.
Also, the ExactPower has a great feature for large amps. If the power draw exceeds 1800 watts, it automatically bypasses the power clean up circuitry and connects directly to the source power. I have never used this feature but with high powered amps it is nice to know it is there.
