That Furman power strip is a good one! I own 2 plus a 1200 Niagara. Garth Powell helped to design the 8 socket furman strip, as he used to work for Furman., so I’m not surprised it sounds good. Also running dedicated 20 amp circuit using 12 gauge romex installed by mua...saved me money and its freakin easy....audioquest NRG duplex receptacle installed and an Audioquest Thunder 1 meter power cable running my Sugden A21SE class A, as well as my Marantz Reference PM 14S1....sounds damn good to me....Audioquest X3 power cables for all the sources, cd, sacd, dac, etc...I got a Furutech and a cover plate put away for a rainy day....maybe I’ll swap that in to see if there is any difference.....its fun to play. Can’t wait for my Tannoy Legacy Eatons to arrive from Scottland, that should be fun!
i just want everyone to know..........
i had gone back and forth and heard the pro’s and con’s of a power conditioner. even talking to many manufacturers and some one high up at shunyata that sells them, and he told me if you just get a dedicated outlet that’s all you really need.. and that is what I had. lighting hit my box the other day and since I leave my amp on 24/7 I was advised to get a good power strip. it made sense, so I purchased the furman pst 8 for $94, for immediate protection. right out of the box did it change my system characteristics, better detail, better dynamics, better sound stage/image, better everything. I immediately ordered another one for my wifes system. it has a coax for the cable, don’t see much difference there. its big, solid and seems well built, please look into this at this price point, just trying to inform the masses......
