If anyone is familiar with Mapleshade recordings, then you how fanatical they are about sound - in fact, they recently introduced a custom line of cables and tweaks that claim to slay more expensive products, according to their website : http://www.mapleshaderecords.com/tweaks/index.html
Their "clearview" line of ICs, speaker cables, power cords, and power strips are of interest to me since I'm such a fan of their recording quality - they custom make and modify their mike cables, tape recorder, etc.
Their 6-outlet Power Strip using a "...superb dielectric used in the very best sounding audiophile caps we know and with low skin effect internal conductors... " is going for $195 plus shipping. It uses a version of their clearview power cord as well. On the website it also claims:
"At both our rural recording studio and downtown wire lab, our Double Helix Power Strip smokes every AC line conditioner we've tested: PS Audio, Chang, Tice, Power Wedge, Monster, Tripplite..."
That's quite a claim for what looks like a plastic strip w/ a fancy cord.
There also alot variables that come into play with power conditioners - quality of power in a particular location, house wiring, etc. So I thought I'd ask some fellow nutts on AA and got an enthusiastic response from one person:

Sounds good to me! I'll give it a try(Mapleshade has a 30 day guarantee) and hopefully post a review in the future. I'm always interested in over achieving products, and I have not been totally pleased with some of the cheaper power products I've tried in the past. Hopefully, this will be the cheap solution I'm looking for.
*Note*This is not a surge protector to my knowledge, only a conditioner.
