I used to have my amp plugged directly into a dedicated 20 amp line, pre and source on another, protected by a PS Audio in wall surge protector. I would always unplug the amp any time thunder storms were forecast. After a little research, I bought this :https://www.crutchfield.com/p_756ELT15PF/Furman-Elite-15-PFi.html. Everything is now plugged into it, and it is plugged into dedicated 20 amp line. Absolutely nothing but improvement, most notably the soundstage grew wider and deeper. ( my room is not optimal in this area, so the improvement was quickly noticeable.) The thing is cheap enough for you to try and can be returned if you don't like it. I love what it did in my system, plus I have additional peace of mind when storms pop up and Im not home. You can surely spend a ton more, but this piece is a great start point IMHO.
Seeking a Power Conditioner
My system consists of the following:
- Martin Logan 11A Impression Loudspeaker (hybrid)
- Bryston 4B3 cubed power amp-300/channel into 8 and 500 into 4
- Bryston Bp-19 preamplifier
- Chord Qutest DAC with S Booster Linear power supply
- Lumin U2 mini streamer with LHY Linear power supply
- Read reviews on both Niagra 1200 & Puritan Audio PSM 156 power conditioners and the reviews were extremely positive. While reading I came accross a review of both products by Audio Science Review (ASR) who claims his reviews are objective with scientific data supplied and his reviews were not nearly as positive to say the least. Anybody have any thoughts on how I should proceed with the differing of opinions. Thank you.

Amongst my people I come across as a stereo guru. As they gaze upon me with wonder upon the vast knowledge I spew upon their minds. Here on this site, I find myself at the very shallow end of a very deep pool. It would become painfully obvious if I tried swimming in the deep end, I would drown very quickly. Yet, if I was to believe my people, I’m a genius. Amir has been able to get the masses to believe his own ideas. So now he goes around telling and believing his idea of truth. Get a following and you got a cult. Like I said earlier, drink the Kool-Aid or not. |
