Upgrade all you outlets and power cables to those that are 'medical/hospital' grade.
Q's to ones can read Electronics Specs.
Hi all,
***Please be patient and read all.***
I have Qs to many of those that can well read and understand electronics specs. and to apply it to this interesting audio hobby. I have a power conditioner www.PowerVar.com model ABC1200-11, and with its specs linked below what’s your first impression?
1/ Can we determent its value and performance for high end audio by just following its specs?
2/ Does this ABC1200 have what it takes to suit in high-end audio industry like Shunyata, Furutech, etc?
3/ Is it correct that 246 BTU/hr equivalents to a 72w/hr light bulb? (see link below)
4/ Is 246 BTU rated as when idling (with nothing plugged-in) or fully running?
5/ It has a huge & heavy 8-in toiroid transformer which draws a tremendous of current when first initial power-up. It very oftens switched off my house breaker. I don’t like that but is that a good thing because the unit has high potential to even out (balance out) to keep the power steadily at 120v?
6/Power measured from wall outlet, 120.4v , but 122.6v from its AC outlet. Is this a good thing for components?
7/ Would you get one for your $10K audio system?

*** I have tested it side by side with Richard Gray 400, and I’m very impressed with what it is offering. Not so warm and full like RG, but it’s detailed and smooth; it shifts a bit to hi-fi sound but I favor it better going straight from the wall. For the price going on right now, it’s a no brainer…
