Anyone using a Power Plant to power an XBR CRT?


I was told my '500 might shut down because of the power draw of the CRT during power-up.

FWIW I hooked a Foundation Research to my Elite Pro 151FD and saw a noticeable improvement. Sorry I hate errors.
I use a Power Plant Premier where I plug my Sony 36" XBR HD into and it does help with clarity. You have to be careful not to exceed the power capacity of the Power Plant you have or it will go into pass through mode and just pass normal AC power to the connected components.

You can find the wattage draw of your XBR CRT in the owner's manual. They draw about 50% less of the new LCD/Plasmas in terms of wattage.

I would venture to say you are right on the boarder on what the 500 can handle expecially if you have anything else plugged into it.
I could see it being something worth tinkering with, if you were trying to squeeze every possible ounce out of a large high definition display or projection system, that was being scrutinized for a large critical image. But for a 32" display? I mean, if it were me I'd just move my seat back a foot or so (lol) further, rather than using a couple grand worth of power conditioner - which might barely fit the power requirements of what I was plugging into it. Dunno.
But again, that's just me...and I, for one, am all for tweaks and av gadgets myself.
But hey, yeah do let us know if your resolution doubles or your "colors" do indeed become more pristine or something and such.
I know someone that had a 65" Syntax-Brillian rear projection used with a PPP daisy-chained with a few of Richard Grey power thingies.
I don't know if a CRT pulls more juice than an RP, but I'm willing to try as the '600 can be had for as low as $600.
Really? $600. Hummm. That is a good deal. Think my 300 was like $850 that I paid.
So where do you find that deal? Lol
