The Furman and Niagra are relatively easy sells. Buy all three, you be the judge. Quality of materials, design not just a few plugs in a box with a “surge suppressor” make a difference.

I know it’s not cables, but be I consider the discussion relevant snake oil to cables!…lol
Is there any reason why a Triplite LCR2400 shouldn’t perform just as competently as say an Audioquest Niagara or Furman Elite 15PFi?!

I’m mostly interested in responses that have some scientific backing rather than your personal experiences (unless you are an EE, etc.). TIA!

@lordmelton, that’s not quite right. The lights dip as the capacitors charge and then come back. If the lights dim then stay dim, that’s a different story. Nelson Pass addresses this in one of his papers. The current isn’t usually an issue in most households with typical class A or A/B amps. Monster amps can hit the line hard, but for the most part they are not the norm. It’s how “clean” the power is that is the problem. Again, if your lights are dimming during playback that’s a problem. But highly unlikely in typical households. The reason to use a dedicated line has some validity to current, but really it’s to clean up the circuit of unwanted noise producers. |
