entry level power solutions


I am new to hi-fi, as I just put together a rig [ musical fidelity a300 integrated, mf a3 cdp and dynaudios 1.3mkII]
The stock PC are plugged into cheap wall outlets. What do you suggest, as a best bang for the buck, for improuving the power circuit?
thanks, dorin

It depends on how easily you could have a couple dedicated circuits run to your setup - if it's easy, it would only be a few hundred dollars and would be highly beneficial. -Kirk
Good point Kirk. Sometimes we overlook the most obvious things. I tend to like "gadgets" and the Quiet Lines will benefit any system without directly interfering with power delivery.

Dorin and others that may be interested, while running dedicated lines may sound like a major undertaking, it typically isn't. I would suggest combing the archives here and doing some reading on it. While there are a few "bugs" that you might run into ( grounding, what phase to connect to, etc... ) doing your homework by reading what others have gone through should minimize any potential headache.

Thanks for the tips. What do you think about those 50 bucks or so PCs? My wife had some problems to understand why a speaker cable costs a couple of hundreds, with PCs will be even harder to negotiate...
If your gear comes with those 18AWG (18-3) black cords like the ones that come with your computer, you can always go to the hardware store and get the same kind of cord in 14AWG (14-3) for about $7 each. While not like a high end PC, these will make some difference for a very small cost.
You might want to checkout the Mapleshade records website. They offer inexpensive powercords, IC's and speaker cables that are excellent for the money.
