Power conditions for Integrated Amps

I absolutely plug 100% of my audio gear into Furman with LiFT and SMP protection. in particularly noisy environments (apartments) I miss them when they are not in place.  I use a Luxman 507ux BTW.

I wrote about this here:

- quality build ( emphasis added ,,,);integrated amps with robust power supplies don’t generally require power conditioners .
- Many such OEM brands actually instruct users to follow the manual with direct to wall connections.

- The possible exception are ad hoc rare circumstances if you live in an old apartment building or alternatively in a rural area prone to “uneven” power supply delivery.

- 80+% of power surges are internally sourced in the home. Putting in full home surge  protection at the breaker panel is recommended. 

I had a Furman, and i didnt like the results. I now have a Saturn 103C on both of my systems, and everything is plugged into it. dead quiet ZERO noise. The Saturn are capacitor based. I opened them up and had a look. all caps.

I use 2 Chang Lightspeed units, one for my audio system and one for the video system, They are dead quiet, do not limit current and are an asset to both systems. Check them out:

I traded in my Furman for a PowerPlant. I've NEVER plugged any integrated amps into a conditioner in 50 years.
