Power Distribution

ghdprentice - awesome, but not cheap! Thanks

eric_squires - Gee, I didn’t know that, thanks Eric

hgeifman - NBM Mk IIn looks good, and it is fused. I will check it out.

If I'm going this route, I presume the highly touted Audioquest Niagra 1200 is in the same league?

tweak1 - Thanks, and in the same price range as the others mentioned here. I wonder if the make an equivalent product in a non-rack mount?

With these power strips, do I want a 15 or 20 amp unit. Some offer only 15 amps others offer both 15 and 20 amp (for an upcharge) and boy, these things are expensive!

I have used both Panamax and Furman products in the past with great success. I am in a smaller space now, using smaller components and trying to minimize the visual aspect of the system. Thinking the power strip would hide away better than a rack style unit.

The Verbex unit looks interesting.

jayctoy - can you provide a link? Thanks 

It’s okay, I found it!

williewonka - jayctoy - jond: Thanks, so what do you guys use for surge protection?

OK, from what I've research so far it seems that one of these units suggested by willewonka, covers both surge protection and power distribution for a somewhat reasonable price. Although the unit is pretty large.

Furutech's e-TP80S or e-TPS80S NCF

williewonka - thanks Steve, great info thank you. I’m not sure I’m up to building something myself but between yours and the others information here, I think I’m heading in the right direction!

After researching a bit, I do like the Wisdom Cable Tech units, but they do not include any form of surge protector as where the more pricey of the two Furutech units do, so possibly thinking of going that route.

ronboco: Norost QB 8 $1,750 - larryi: Iso Tek EVO3 Sirius $795. Hmmm

Thanks!

jond - "I also have whole house surge protection but no surge protection directly on my system".

Honestly, I'm thinking this is the way to go!
