You might look into a used Equitech balanced power unit. I am very pleased with one in my Spectral/MIT system.
Power Conditioner Help
I have read several of the Threads regarding power conditioners and there are a few things I have observed.
1. Like most things in this pursuit - there are proponents and naysayers
2. There are alot of different types and products out there
3. There is of course no best solution
With that in mind - I request recommendations for a power conditioner for $700 or less - new or used -
Here are the facts
1. I live in a MAJOR urban environment - high rise apartment building, etc
2. I have alot of other "equipment" on the circuit with the stereo/video equipment and only two outlet close to all equipment - running another line from breaker is at this point not feasible
3. I need something that can accommodate, tube pre-amp, dac, large TUBE TV, digital front end, cable box, dvd player, and a few misc devices - I need isolation from one another! as well as from other equipment that shares circuit
4. I plan to plug the amp directly into the wall on one of the outlets
5. I did some voltage testing and it appears I have a pretty steady 124V
6. I love the music - I want it to sound as it "should" - I don't want something that is going to leave a signature - I want the black background without limiting dynamics.
Please feel free to recommend more than one as a list ( I like lists as you can see)

http://www.listenup.com/FURMAN+Elite-15+PF+i-p-Elite15PFi-p-1689474.html I have the Monster HTPS7000 on the main rig which is a fairly nice unit. My main complaint is the contacts on the outlets are not that tight. I have a Furman Elite 15i on my headphone rig. The outlet contacts are nice and snug. The link is the big brother to this unit. IMHO at $600.00 well worth the investment. Due to circumstances beyond my control (I am waiting on a replacement head amp as mine has a microphonic tube and a crackel in the right channel that is frequency dependant) and the fact that this is a fairly new system I can't acuratly judge it's affects. But it just seems to stay out of the way of the music. Good luck in your search. |
Thanks for the suggestions - Cytocyle - thanks for the suggestions and break down very helpful Tiger - I believe it is both The PS Audio regenerators sound very interesting - expensive - but interesting - I am going to try some of the suggestions and then choose - but this is a particularly difficult item to demo |
