It seems the vast majority have no idea what real performance-oriented line conditioners can do to a playback system's level of musicality. Those who have experience with proper or superior line conditioners, find themselves when listening to a playback system that does not employ PROPER line conditioning tolerating the sound for maybe 10 - 20 minutes before giving their ears a break.

For those without experience with proper line conditioning on all AC components, the LC-100 should easily be the most musical upgrade you'll ever experience. In addition to actually purifying the noisy AC exceedingly well, the LC-100 is passive (draws no current to itself), dedicated, and bi-directional filtering. Moreover, the LC-100 is 100 Amp current capable and was built especially to handle the the current draw of the world's biggest amplifiers.

Foundation Research has been defunct for several years now so that makes this LC-100 a very rare find. If you have any experience with any version of the Foundation Research line conditioners, especially this latest version, you probably already know its true value and even at this price is a bargain. Especially since there are none out there for sale anywhere in the world from what I can tell. To the best of my knowledge every reviewer who reviewed the Foundation Research line conditioners purchased the review samples.

If you don't have a high current drawing amp, you can always connect a quality-oriented audio-grade power strip and plug all your analog equipment into the power strip for equal conditioning. Yes, you can also plug in all your digital and analog components into that same power strip. Just note that since the power strip is inserted after the LC-100, there is a small amount of bi-directional digital noise your digital components will be sharing amongst all equipment plugged into the same power strip. But even in such a slightly compromised config, the sonic benefits of using the LC-100 on all equipment will far outweigh not utilizing the LC-100 on any one component.

Will ship to 48-continental states.
