It appears that I was not as clear as I could have been. I believe that the Triplite surge protector is limiting the amount of current. I believe that my amp clips because of that. I may be off, but my goal is better music at a louder level. I would like to replace the Triplite unit with a Monster 5000 or a Panamax. Does anyone have any thoughts as to whether this would improve the quality of the music and or limit the clipping on the amplifier?
Condition this baby
When I first got my gear, I was advised to protect my investment with a surge protector. Being the smart, savvy guy, I knew that investing in a power conditioner was like wasting money on good cables. They were not going to trick me from my money! So I bought a Trip Lite unit for $100.
Of course, now there are Coincident speaker cables, I/C's and power cords all around. And when I put in a couple of FIM outlet's the difference was huge!. MY amp seems to clip at a fairly low level and I'm thinking that upgrading the line is the best way to go. I have Marsh gear, so I like the ides of the Monster 5000, which is designed by Richard Marsh or there are a couple Panamax units inn my price range. I would like to spend in the $200-$400 range.
My gear is a Thule CD and Rega 25 front end, with a marsh P2000T and 400S. I also use a CJ PV-11 for the phono stage, driving Audio physic Virgo’s.
