[QUOTE="TJ Cornish, post: 41767, member: 162"] Re: Need some advice on a power conditioner please guys Google is your friend - both here and on PSW. Power conditioners don't "condition" much - they are expensive power strips, sometimes with pretty lights. From your other posts it seems that your budget is pretty tight. Skip the expensive power strip and put your money into a real amp/processor, etc. To answer more specifically - don't bother putting any heavy power stuff on a conditioner like this - no amps, no lighting, etc. Cable length is related to current draw and wire gauge, and the negative result of doing this inadequately is voitage sag, which may affect your max sound output, or in extreme cases maybe cause your gear to brown out and quit, but you're generally not going to have any problems with 20' cables of appropriate gauge for the current demands, and good source circuits to start with.
