Power Supplies & Performance
@gdhal - that's interesting - was that a recent merge/takeover?Do you know if their product lines are the same?When I looked around 2-3 years ago, Furman appeared to have slightly more "professional" products.Cheers 
Power Supplies & Performance
@Parabolic - I had the Panamax 4300 in my system for a while.Initially, it made some improvement to the sound and like others have posted, I found that plugging high power components, like the amp and in your case the sub, directly into the wall p...
