Pure SNAKE OIL (as are most Monster products) For an explanation, do a Google Search for "Ten Biggest Lies In Audio" or visit this link: www dot theaudiocritic dot com/downloads/article_1.pdf and scroll to the part where he talks about fancy cables and about power conditioners.
Having surge protection is indeed important, and you can find a decent surge protector with multiple outlets for wire management well under a hundred bucks, with power backup...Belkin makes very good ones with a far more reasonable price to performance rat...

Does the job Looks sharp--keeps the power cords organized. Im not sure if I can see a better picture or hear better sound as claimed.

Better peace of mind I bought this unit just as a piece of mind. I have over $10k in electronic devices connected to this Power Center. So far, I have not noticed an improvement in sound or video, but it sure looks cool!

Great Investment In Your Components Future I got this as a Christmas gift a full year ago from my girlfriend - I told her it would protect my components & make them perform better, and always be a reminder of her : ) It cleaned up some static through the cable line & now that I'm on satellite it performs great isolating the EMI interference the DirecTV & DishNet boxes put into the line. Sound quality is awesome with this in place -no power loss or anything, just performance! Definitely recommended & I would buy again - just this time a b...

Must get item Great product, highly recomended. By cleaning the power going to various devices, you get a better picture quality for an HDTV as well as better sound from a high end home theater.

Great solution for those who have unstable voltage Ever since the transformer in my backyard was replaced five years ago, voltage in my house has been unstable. It hovers at around 120 volts and spikes to about 122. There have been times that it has spiked as high as 130 and 135.
Well, I'm glad to know that this product is protecting my HDTV equipment from being fried by a massive voltage spike.

Excellent addition to the A/V family! Seeing and reading about this PowerCenter on Circuit City, I was interested in it for quite a while, and finally found one of the better prices here on Amazon. It's very well laid out, with easy to use labels for specific types of component plugins. I have no satellite or cable yet, but love movies on my 46" LG DLP Rear Projection TV. While the picture quality improved somewhat, the sound improved tremendously! The clarity, bass return, and overall quality was significantly better. Excellent pro...

quality sound and picture I did a little research before buying this one. My friend came and listened to it. He bought one the next day. This is a wonderful stuff for pro listeners who really know how to listen to music as well as watching movies. Thanks Amazon for the price. Everybody should get this Monster.

Great product I bought this new monster power for my entertainment setup that consist of a 50' plasma, Bose life style system, phone and some other cd players. It works great so far, very nice layout and design it has several outlets with filters that gives you a better signal. I strongly recommend this item. Good luck buying.
