BT Mains Conditioner question.
I acquired a 2 socket brand new one of the above (2 x 0.5A outputs) yesterday and tried it out last night, using just one socket. Difficult to be certain but it may or may not have improved the SQ. However, of more concern to me is its own power consumption. It replaced a Belkin PF40 in my set up (just for this trial ) which remains at room temperature in operation but the BT Conditioner got quite warm. I interpret heat generation in electrical gear as meaning power is being wasted by being converted to heat so does anyone have any idea how much is being added to my leccy bill just by using this thing? The power consumed by the kit downstream will remain the same so I'm only interested in the extra expense being caused by the heat produced by the conditioner - anybody any idea?
TIA,
Dave.
