Furman uses the term "Power Factor" while Audioquest calls it "Power Correction."I think you’re spending a little too much time reading manufacturer’s brochures and not enough time understanding what’s going on. Audioquest can use whatever marketing lingo it likes, but "Power Factor" is the accepted and proper term for describing the relative phase between voltage and current, which in residential environments is typically 1 or very, very close to it.
... energy storage is provided by large capacitors that can satisfy the dynamic current demands of power amps ...Yes, that’s what capacitors do.
Without the caps, the very component (inductor) that limits the surge current also limits the dynamic current that is available to the amp.If you think all power conditioners rely on inductors that compromise PF, you’re mistaken. You're also mistaken if you isolate PF as the most critical factor in delivering full power.
