This sounds like nonsense. |

| I realise it is about as much bull as spending £5k on cables, but for 9.99 wondered if it could get rid of any groundloop issues or some . |

That's about all it will do.
Cheap power conditioners do nothing more than in-line capacitance if you're lucky, which does all to actually condition your power. |

hmm i thought i answered this question.
I used to get a small hiss from my speakers, barely audible, but it was power issue and despite them all being on the same breakout and it wasn't a cabling issue, well after spending 800 on a proper power conditioner , problem solved. I also bought a cheaper APC one for electronics ie computers just tp guarantee a level voltage. Once you've had things just break , ie electronics that never move just stop working, you start to get paranoid. There actually was a solar flare or something and my monitor ( hp screen ) just died like that. ed up.
so to recap, for audio , you need to spend the $$$ to see any benifit, for electronics, a 100-200$ voltage regulator is fine.
Cheap units tend to be noisy and generate alot of heat and you don't want that in your room.
I would say most people don't really neeed it. I would say the voltage regulator for your pcs are more important in that if anything is going to ruin your ie external hardrives, computers , it is brown outs and surges.
You can always just buy a voltmeter and test your power. When i thought my mac pro died at the same time as a monitor, i started tested every single ing thing and noticed that it would fluctuate a bit and decided to just buy a few cheap APC regulators for 150 ish. |
