Furman Upgrade to Niagra


I remember ready an article some time ago by @erik_squires on 110v power and him recommending these as a good place to start, so I bought a couple of: https://furmanpower.com/product/15a-6-outlet-surge-suppressor-strip/

I recall him saying to use one bank for analogue and the other for digital. Well, I have no analogue gear, so I just use all the outlets as needed.

What would an Audioquest Niagra 3000 or even the Niagra 1200 do for my system over and above my simple power strips, would the large monetary investment be a substantial beneficial to my system over my pair of PST-6s? Thanks.

@tomic601 I find the AQ products a bit on the pricey side. I am researching alternatives and will post my findings later. Thanks 

@audphile1 thank you, as always a wealth of helpful information!

I also ran a dedicated 20-amp 12/2 circuit for my system with upgraded outlets.

So, you think a power conditioner isn't necessary if that's the case?

@audioguy85 @milo0812 sweet set-up guys, thanks for sharing!

Over Covid I was out of work and sold all my gear (and my house) just to survive, in that old set up I had a Furman PF Elite that I let go for pennies on the dollar. Wish I had it (and my old system) back again...

@tonywinga that’s even deeper, but thank you for the sound (no pun intended) advice! Maybe we should change the name here to Moneybgon!
