INTRODUCTION
The Zen Line
Conditioner is a heavy steel case with a
huge toroidal transformer to give you high
current and 100% isolation from the noisy
power grid that's making your stereo
suffer!
It features six audiophile grade power
outlets, each numbered and individually
switchable making it easier to turn your
components on and off in the correct
order.
Also, a removable power cord socket (IEC)
is provided so that if you are using
hi-end power cords, you can use one to
feed the device as well.
Unlike normal (non-toroidal) isolation,
the Zen Line Conditioner emits no RF and
has no vibration or hum! It is very
high mass and has quality rubber feet so
it is also self-damping.

The
rear of the unit features a power
indicator so that you know at all
times it's getting power from the
wall outlet and what the voltage is.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Fully balanced output
where both the neutral and line
are isolated from the wall
outlet. This improves safety and
blocks all the harmonics and
noise from the power grid to
greatly enhance the focus,
imaging, and liquidity of your
stereo.
- 10 amps of total
output so that you can plug your
entire system, including large
amps, into the device without
worries about drawing too much
current.
This eliminates grounding
problems, ground loops, hum and
noise associated with ground
issues.
- Individual switching
allows you to selectively turn
on or off any component from a
central location.
- Completely passive
operation means there is nothing
to break, no moving parts, no
fans and no noise for absolutely
silent operation.
GROUNDING
SUPERIORITY
One of the biggest headaches in the
hobby of high-end audio is noise and
hum. The largest contributor is
having your equipment plugged into
several places, or into power
strips, which have similar results.
Each place a component is
plugged-in has different contact
pressures and resistances leading to
ground that create small or in some
cases large ground loops that make
your system hum.
Having everything plugged into a
single place, like the Zen Line
Conditioner, creates a single-point
ground scheme that not only
eliminates ground based hum issues,
but also improves the sound of your
entire system with blacker
backgrounds.
Many homes are miss-wired and have
the neutral and ground bonded
together mistakenly in one or more
outlets that can and do create
current on the ground line causing
irreconcilable hum issues. The Zen
Line Conditioner will create a
perfect haven in such an environment
because it isolates the ground and
neutral.
NOISE SUPPRESSION
The Zen Line Conditioner features
heavily shielded noise filtration on
the input IEC device to kill
incoming noise and keep it from
reaching the inside of the steel
cabinet where the toroidal
transformer lives. Once the power is
cleaned, the transformer
magnetically decouples it and then
feeds the various outputs. A single
beeswax cap is used on the secondary
to multiply the noise rejection
without creating any artifacts.
Some people will wonder how this
approach compares to a power
re-generator so it pays to know that
a power re-generator is a large
power amplifier. It simply plays a
50/60 cycle note (sine wave) instead
of music. It is, nevertheless, an
amplifier whose performance is
affected by incoming power quality
just like anything else therefor it
would make sense to plug a power
re-generator in the Zen Line
Conditioner.
BUILD QUALTIY
The build quality
speaks for itself... when you lift it,
you 'll know. When you plug
something into it and the grip on the
prongs is stronger than expected,
you'll know. When you listen to
music without grain, you'll know and
when there is ZERO hum or vibration...
you'll know.
