Furman Upgrade to Niagra

I had the same experience.  I brought home an AQ Niagara 5000 from Hifi Buys a couple of years back with a Hurricane power cord to replace my Furman Elite 15 Power Factor.  It was expensive but very effective.  I also have separate, dedicated power lines to the front end and amps.  The Niagara is on the front end.  

I moved the Furman power conditioner to my HT system and saw a large improvement in the TV picture.  It improved the colors and sharpness.  So win-win.

Funny story- last year I replaced my Sony LED TV with a Sony OLED TV.  (This was after putting the Furman in the HT system.). I listed the old TV for sale and placed it in the garage.  When someone came to buy the TV I plugged it directly into the wall.  The picture looked dull and fuzzy to me.  I started to panic thinking the TV was broken.  Then I realized that’s the difference the power conditioner makes.  The buyer thought the picture looked great.

Save and avoid expensive debt. Home mortgage is unavoidable for most of us but still better than renting. (Maybe that paradigm has changed since Covid). Car loans are avoidable but I indulged myself a few times with new cars over the years. If you borrow money for a car it is key to keep it clean and looking/running its best so that you can sell quickly if you must. Don’t spend money you don’t have. Wait for it. Plan for the worse, hope for the best. A mortgage is a must when starting out; but having no mortgage (or rent due) is an amazing freedom and frees up a lot of cash.

Best song: LA Dreamer by Charlie on their Lines album. Got that record from a cut out bin in the 80s.
