Up for sale is my beloved BPT balanced power conditioner. Unlike most conditioners or regenerators that add/pollute the stream, this simple and effective unit cancels the wall noise via sending the wall feeds through a HUGE transformer before sending it to the hospital grade outlets. It is very good at cleaning up dirty power. I've owned it for over 15 years, and many competing components have come and gone (many from PS audio game and went!) It is awesome, solid, HEAVY beast. Balanced Power Technologies made some of the very best power conditioners ever. Even at their full price ($1600 in this case), they were a bargain, per the reviews listed below.The last few of these sold at $650+ and sold quickly, so I'll price mine the same as a screaming deal for the next lucky/happy owner! There is a small scuff on the front top left per the pics and a few scratches on the bottom, but nothing glaring that you will likely see once this is in your rack. Also a piece is chipped off from the AC main power inlet as seen in the pic but does not affect function/performance. Shipping will be expensive, so factor that in! Pickup most welcome. Thanks-Michael
