Power conditioning is not a solution, as a fluctuating power supply is not the only problem. Every component in the signal path introduces some kind of distortion, and there are many components in the signal path (the sound card, the speaker's electronics (ie. the amplifier), and the speakers themselves (ie. the moving bits, or the drivers)). Designers do their best to work around the limitations of components, but none are perfect even given perfect DC power.

The lens pictured there is an all-new 18-55 DA L, whatever that means. The Pentax forums are going mad, as usual.

:-o I need an alarm clock version of this! That way I can sleep in for an extra 10 or 12 microseconds if it was a rough night.

But is it tube rectified!? Har har, I kill me.

The heater on that big tube draws 12 amps (thanks for the link Shane) - that's bloody ridiculous, even by tube standards.

Though $55K seems a bargain for a 160W of single-ended class A of tubey goodness.

Count me in!

whoot! iPhone me up!

We needs a new Pearl! :-D

Go Engadget. I'd be Motorollin' with my new MPx. :-)

Halo

It'll be replacing an ancient blue Timex Ironman Triathlon that can no longer hold a wrist band. :-)
