It's not the dirty power it's the low voltage and surges that destroy audio equipment.look at furman make sure it has lft and surge protection.our power goes out once a week in the rocky Mountains. The engineered left furman and went to audioquest making the niagra series.you can watch the interview on upscale audio that Kevin did. I wish I could plug them into the wall directly but I live on a grid that is dangerous.i don't get what I pay for. I have the furman 20 I and niagra 7000 and shunyata.they are all rated at 20 amps and the furman and niagra have capicitors that give 60 plus amps in reserve for transients.enjoy the search.i would go surge protection first the cabel company let's you try cables out.you would have to call them.good luck
Power Cords/ Conditioner/Surge Protectors
Do I need to add power cords/conditioner/surge protector to my system or is it product dependent.
My current system consists of:
- Moon 390 network player
- Moon 761 amplifier
- Sonus Faber Sonetta V speakers
Should I use the stock power cords on the Moon equipment or look at new power cords? If new cords should be purchased let's hear some recommendations. Will the power cords change anything sonically?
Should I also add power conditioner/surge protector to the equipment? Again, does it change anything sonically? If recommended do you look at Shunyata, Panamax etc.
Thanks for your input/recommendations.
