Dear Mr. Srajan, I hope you are doing great. I would be very glad if you took 3 minutes of your precious time about power conditioners. I'm deciding between Puritan PSM156 and Ansuz A3 or C3. I know you auditioned the Puritan and Ansuz D2. Could you maybe tell a difference or tell me 'buy this one'? I just tested the C3 and it’s very good but €5K and the Puritan is far less. My system consists of Cube Audio Jazzon Mk2 speakers, Audio Note Oto Se Signature, LampizatOr Atlantic, Iancanada Rpi streamer with copper custom cables. Thanks! Best, Gasper, Slovenija

In two of my systems I use Puritan power. As you noted, it's rather more affordable and better value for what's actually in it. Of course you already auditioned the Ansuz and loved it so that could be your answer right there? The effectiveness and scope of power conditioners depends on your unique AC scenario so it's quite impossible to predict which approach you would favour: the active filtering of Puritan which can include DC filtering if you opt for that which I recommend; or the passive approach of Ansuz. As you noted, I did review the Ansuz but shipped it back afterwards. That's probably all I can say about your question. Srajan
