That improvement is pretty huge. |

Thats why the €3 extension paradox makes sense... |

Quintet Power Center didn't do much. Premier Power Plant added more distortion the more components I had plugged into it. I have found that Judge power cable + RTP4 power strips is the best match because the wattage draw doesn't reduce the performance of those power conditioners. |
