| Do I need upgraded power cables? OP, many recommended plugging your amp directly into the wall to not starve the amps draw when using a shared conditioner. Two things: 1. Most are high power amps, tubes and/or mono blocks. 2. Most have installed whole house surge protection, eli... | |
| Do I need upgraded power cables? One more thing, IMHO isolated banks for your analog & digital components is critical, unless you run two dedicated power lines & 2 separate power conditioners. When installing my 2400, I accidentally plugged my turntable into the bank I wa... | |
| Do I need upgraded power cables? Based upon the recommendations from @erik_squires (very knowledgeable), I recently purchased a Furman P-2400 AR (the 20A version of his above recommendation) and the Furman PSD 8D, with very good results. The 2400 provides voltage regulation, co... | |
| Traded Off my SLP-05 There is another thread discussing what component you would keep. It would be my BHK pre. Love it. | |
| AC Power @raysmtb1 Not an uncommon perspective. Interesting you don’t believe in power improvements as you have a nice system. You seem to believe in vibration isolation, but not power. I only know that the 2400 without question improved the overall sound ... | |
| AC Power define gathered. I would not coil the the remaining 7ft in a neat tight small diameter coil. Imo, a small coil would act as an inductor. @jea48 I pulled just enough out to plug it in. The coil is crammed between the 2400 & the LPS for my DAC.... | |
| AC Power @immatthewj The Furman specs for the 2400 are: 10 ft. captive 3/12 AWG, black cord with NEMA 20 plug. Mine is still gathered, as I only needed 3 feet, but would think 10’ is accurate. | |
| AC Power @erik_squires Thanks! I somewhat misspoke. It is a mesh router with an Ethernet backbone, not a modem. My (fiber) modem & main router are downstairs. I also have my HT sub plugged into my secondary power. I am less concerned (famous last words... | |
| AC Power @erik_squires Erik, I have a $50 APC surge protector power strip for my modem, CD player, DVD & VCR on the same circuit as the rest of my equipment on my 2400. Except for the modem, the rest are seldom if ever used. I assume you would recommen... | |
| AC Power One more thing. When I originally set up the Furman, I decided to listen to Adele 30 vinyl “All night parking”. The clarity of Adele’s voice, the Erroll Gardner opening scratchiness & deep bass are very telling. I have listed to it 100’s of ti... | |
| AC Power OK, I have had 2 days with my new Furman P-2400;AR. A couple observations: 1. It is heavy. Carrying it up the stairs in its box was a chore for this 72 year old. 2. it fit very nicely on its side behind my low long rack between my speaker cables ... | |
| AC Power @drbarney1 Thanks. I have a tube front pre (BHK) and a SS amp (Simaudio). | |
| AC Power @wturkey +1 @kennyc My planned placement behind my system should allow the continued use of my existing upgraded PC’s. Thanks @carlsbad2 You appear to be a person that gets in a hole & keeps digging to justify your arrogance. Yes, I am full... | |
| AC Power @carlsbad2 A piece of equipment I purchased & looking forward to receiving as a result of this forum. Most people on the various forums are knowledgeable and helpful and have tact, but understand their recommendations may not be followed. Not ... | |
| AC Power @carlsbad2 That’s twice you have been an a.. on my forum. |
