Hey Toke, fello Hurricane resident... Without giving a scientist bable definition of a Power Conditioner, I suppose it could be summed up like this.

AC current is kinnda like waves in the ocean. Analog equipment is not too picky about the waves coming to shore as long as they are 5' high with a certain low point, all the chop in the middle, analog equipment could care less about. However Digital Equipment, wants a killer ground swell of 5', off shore winds, with glass inbetween the sets.

So I suppose ISO is saying that a generator puts out crappy, hurricane waves that analog equipment can use but not Digital, a power conditioner cleans up all the chop inbetween sets..

Clear as Mud yet? LOL
