Love mine but I did no actual comparisons to others. I did take some noise measurements though and it cut the line noise in half or more. The meter I used though only measured up to 10Khz. My system now sounds good no matter what time of day I listen. At the last AXPONA show Puritan had a table setup and I asked him about upgrading my basic cable with a better one and he didn’t recommend it. Not sure how much of a difference that would make. I’m sure everyone has different opinions on that. I have everything plugged into mine including my 2 REL subs and my CODA #8 amp and I have zero issues.
Puritan PSM156 recommendation
I'm finally looking to get a proper power unit for my equipment. In order to connect my power amp, pre amp, phono, streamer/dac and turntable. So far, I've been reading a lot of great reviews on the Puritan PSM156. I can potentially get a decent discount on a new one. I have a dedicated 15 Amp wall plug. One key thing I did like as well, it states that it protects from surges.
Without comparing to something more expensive, how does this compare to the Furutech ones, Audience forte V8 Power w/ forte f3 powerChord (probably out of the question since it doesnt surge protect) and the Synergistic Research PowerCell 8 UEF (which I think also doesn't surge protect). I think the Shunyata's are way more pricier as well. Just some examples from some local shop recommendations at the lower (ish) price points.
I could surge protect my panel, but wont be able to do it for awhile. It is something I do want to eventually do.
Let me know what the feedback is on the Puritan, given its price point.

@audphile1 Strange how that works on some systems and amps. I have a Coda #8 amp that delivers up to 150 Amps peak current with a huge 3.0 KVA toroidal transformer and 40 output transistors and I noticed no difference in dynamics with a gigantic soundstage and felt the PSM 156 wasn’t limiting it in any way after my comparisons. With that being said I am using Magnepan speakers, and they aren’t that dynamic so who knows. |
