Is a Power Wedge 116 any good?

Thanks Shinytoys, I'll check out the mod.

Barrysandy - Regarding upgrades...no that's not all, I'm replacing my analog front end. I want to protect my investment and have clean power without sacrifice...actually clean power and improved sound go hand-in-hand if you get it right. There's a lot of power solutions that get it wrong. Trying to avoid that.

I've been asleep while the what's-new-in-audio has been passing me by, because I don't stay in touch until I'm ready to upgrade again. For me, that's every ten to twenty years.

After spending my budget on my new front end, I'm just wondering if my Power Wedge 116 is okay and will improve with a decent power cord...at least not detract from the sound.

By coincidence, I spoke to PS Audio today regarding the Soloist in-wall conditioner. I'm pushing my cabinet against the wall and don't want a big conditioner on the floor. I also don't have a spare shelf on the cabinet. They suggested their Juice Bar (protection strip) with a good power cord plugged into the Soloist. I already have a dedicated circuit that could feed the Soloist.

Thanks, most don't know very much about APC. It has served me well but I'm trying to take the footprint from the floor to the wall. Not much out there for this application.

PS Audio has some nice products. Ideally, I wish their Soloist in-wall conditioner had more outlets. They're offering a special edition model right now for $249.

I can then get a PS Audio Juice Bar, add a decent power cord to it, and plug it into the Soloist.

Wow, I forgot I even started this post (2009)!

Everything has changed since then...My system, my home, and the setup. The Power Wedge is now being used by my daughter for her system, but as a power strip upgrade. No problems with it so far.
