Would a UPS be as good as the PS power?


I am thinking of getting a UPS for all my equipment, and since i can get them at cost, they will be significantly cheaper than the PS power plant. Will they do the same job?

Not quite the same "beasts" I'm afraid. Also be careful with some types of UPS units as they can put out more of a square-wave frequency signal than a sine-wave signal and this can cause premature failure with some audio equipment. Don't wish to sound too much "gloom and doom" but look into this very carefully before you commit. Happy holidays to all, regards, Richard at www.vantageaudio.com
Hello Sugarbrie, be careful about placing multiple power conditioners, back-up power units, etc in series as you start compounding the errors and get additional power factor problems, losses and induced noise into your power line. Better to determine the major power problem you wish to eliminate (or minimize) and work to getting this under control with the absolute minimum of additional "boxes" in the power line. Hope this makes sense, basically - keep it simple. Regards, Richard.
