| Furman SMP is NOT real series mode surge technology! @erik_squires Furman and SurgeX/Zero Surge are competitors. Furman did not license the series mode technology, so when they used the name, Furman was forced to rename their technology. No license equals more profit and a bigger piece of the pie.@i... | |
| ADD-Powr by Coherence Systems --- Power Conditioning Products @danny2323They are similar outside of the transformers/coils and number of "QRT" units. This affects the conditioning of the power the units receive, and ultimately the sound. Bill's original QRT units could be tuned by cleaning the power it was f... | |
| Furman SMP is NOT real series mode surge technology! @erik_squires I red it on a Pro AV news site, but for the life of me I can't currently find the article. At the very least, Furman used to call their technology series mode, then switched to naming it SMP+, and ultimately SMP. | |
| What Shunyata and Furman (SMP) Have in common - Inductance! Wow! Erik doesn’t know what a MOV looks like, or how to post a proper link.

| What Shunyata and Furman (SMP) Have in common - Inductance! What specs? There is only one listed, "EVS (Extreme Voltage Shutdown) responds to sustained over voltage conditions (137 V or greater)." The rest is filled with features. The telling one, "VIRTUALLY non-sacrificial." You know, meaning not quite.Co... | |
| What Shunyata and Furman (SMP) Have in common - Inductance! They are specifically talking about the Furman products using the SMP circuit. It is laid out clearly in the circuit picture that it uses MOVs. The same circuit board is used in all Furman products with SMP. I’m sorry to burst your bubble, but it’... | |
| What Shunyata and Furman (SMP) Have in common - Inductance! @erik_squires "Zero Surge® was incorporated in March 1989 by J. Rudy Harford." He is the founder, and was the former owner and president. And yes, he’s the license owner.https://zerosurge.com/about-us/Look at the SMP circuit on the page you linked... | |
| What Shunyata and Furman (SMP) Have in common - Inductance! @erik_squires You are completely mistaken on all levels. Quit trying to duplicitously sell Furman products for your affiliate link money!1) Furman does not license series mode surge technology. They were sued by Zero Surge - the originators and li... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD @chowkwanI agree on most points. The Nagra is nice, but I prefer others with similar tech.The new Marantz SA-KI Ruby is going to be the best bang for the buck. | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? @hifipassion I heard one of the Keces at a show, and it sounded similar to any balanced power conditioner. I haven’t heard it compared to a CPT.One YouTube user has multiple videos with Keces gear. Here are some with the BP1200:https://youtu.be/hM... | |
| AC Regenerator If you want to be battery powered, and truly off the grid, Stromtank is another option for a regenerator, if you have deep pockets.I feel regenerators make theoretical sense, but in actual practice, are flawed. Firstly, the DC to AC conversion ind... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? Hugh,It looks like he either deleted it or a moderator did. I didn't see anything wrong with it. I hope CAS went well!That case of the guy that bought the Lyngdorf was an odd one. It sounds like the guy was impatient with the dealer he had previou... | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD @fuzzbutt17 Benjamin,I just skimmed through your article, "The 24-Bit Delusion" and I see we will not agree. You article is full of untrue claims, IMO. 24 bits are not just about dynamic range. Higher bitrates properly used in recording are for gr... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD @fuzzbutt17 Victims of marketing.A few years ago at RMAF we held a contest (with some pretty cool prizes) to determine if people could guess the resolution of of five songs.We had a 25 song playlist printed on a single page with columns for song n... |
