“How in the world could these guys at Mapleshade even think to comment that their simple power strip not only compares to but out performs a power re-generation device...Within the first strike of the acoustic guitar chord on one of my most favorite discs, I was blown away! The attack was immediate, the power of that chord was right there in the room. And the harmonics were all there as never before...This funny looking $270 power strip (is) providing something more positive with respect to the musical presentation than the $2400 Ps600! The bottom line—this Clearview Double Helix Power strip with Plus treatment is staying. The Power Plant is for sale.” – a PS Audio Dealer who requested anonymity


CLEARVIEW POWER CONDITIONING STRIPS

If you are using an ordinary or hospital grade power strip—or any power conditioner, no matter how expensive—replacing it with our power strip is likely to be your system’s biggest sonic upgrade so far. We have hundreds of customers who’ve bought the strip, tested it, sold their $1500-$3000 conditioner, and pocketed the difference. The Clearview Strip has smoked every famous power conditioner it’s been up against: PS Audio 600, Shunyatta Hydra, MIT, Richard Grey, Chang, Tice, Power Wedge, Monster, Tripplite, Audio Prism, Adcom.

Our Power Conditioning Strip grew out of the Clearview Power Cord. After introducing the Power Cords, we kept getting calls from enthusiastic users who wanted multiple outlets. We tested all kinds of multiple outlet receptacles. They all sounded horrible, especially the pro and hospital-grade ones. After a bushel of bad apples, we finally found the peach—a receptacle made of the same superb polymer used in the very best audiophile caps. This multiple outlet—attached to our proprietary Double Helix wires—made any music immediately sound cleaner and punchier. I was particularly dumbfounded by how good it sounded compared to all the second-mortgage line conditioners.

As with our power cords, the MK2 version of our Power Conditioning Strip adds a pair of “outrigger” ground wires that run parallel to the Double Helix power conductors. The MK2 has noticeably better dynamics, more bass weight, more warmth, and even cleaner treble than the standard MK1 strip.


SURGE PROTECTION OPTION

Today’s standard surge protection technologies really degrade good sound—and are too slow to protect well against lightning-associated transients. After years of looking and testing, Pierre finally found a gas plasma technology that verges on inaudibility, no more than 1% to 2% loss in sound quality. And its 8 to 20 nanosecond response time is actually fast enough to protect adequately.
