We’re Stereo
Exchange, located in New York City. We've been in business since the 1970s and
are a major high-end dealer. We have all the current top brands on display in
our huge showroom. We recently
went through our warehouse and discovered that we had this FACTORY SEALED
Monster Power (from Monster Cable) Home Theater Reference Power Source in
stock. This is the Model HTS 5100 Mk 2
SIGNATURE VERSION. This is like
finding a several-year-old Rolls Royce, still covered, with zero miles on it. This Signature
Model was the best-of-the-best for Monster power conditioners of reasonable
capacity. It has sufficient capacity for all your components and all but the
biggest power amplifiers. These
Signature models have a beautiful BLUE front panel display, upgraded circuits,
and it looks like a gold-plated AC plug. The total
capacity of this model is a very high 1800 Watts! I did unpack
the unit to do a quick test and to photograph it. This device
will protect all you components from surges, noise coming in on your AC line,
under-voltage, over-voltage, and more It will
isolate your components so your Plasma TV will not send noise back through the
line into your audio components. It will noise
filter your audio/video components from the outside world and each other. There are many
AC outlets on the rear panel, with their own specialized filters. This model
also has a trigger input (and comes with the appropriate cable) so that any
trigger-equipped (as most are) preamp and controller can tell the HTPS to turn
on, which then activates your amplifiers. If you have an
older system without a trigger jack, but it has a switched AC outlet, there is
even a special cable to plug from that outlet into the Monster to tell it to
turn on. That way your
1970s receiver or preamp can now tell your new high-power amp when to turn on.
Very cool. You can set
delays on outlets to turn on and off before others. This makes it
IDEAL for systems with tube preamps or amps that, if turned off or on in the
wrong sequence, can cause loud speaker-damaging pops or thumps. It even has
provisions to protect antenna, satellite, and cable TV signals, as well as your
phone line. The special
Monster CLEAN POWER circuitry will ensure that the power coming into your
components is clean and noise-free so you get all the performance you paid for
from your system components. This SIGNATURE
model has lots of refinements and a beautiful-looking display that shows both
the voltage your AC and the amount of current your total system draws. A large
readout on the front panel tells you your house voltage and the current draw of
your system, and it can be dimmed. You can set
delay times so that specific outlets come on or turn off with a delay. This has two
purposes… It makes sure
you don’t get any turn-on thumps from, say, your amp turning on with or before
your processor. It also
ensures that, if you have multiple amplifiers, they do not all turn on at once
and pop you house fuse! If the AC
outlet you plug the Monster into is not grounded properly, the unit will tell
you. If your wiring
is reversed on your outlet, the Monster will tell you that, too. The unit
itself has a HUGE attached power cord so it will not limit current. It even comes
with labels to go on your power cords! If you have a
high performance system, whether pure AUDIO or a HOME THEATER system, you need
a high performance power center. This HTS5100
Mk 2 SIGNATURE VERSION retailed for $799.00. At that price it had very little
competition. PRICING: WE
ARE SETTING THE RESERVE AT ONLY $188.00. WARRANTY: Due
to its age and Monster’s online sales policies, I doubt if it qualifies for any
