Power filtering – Furutech or Puritan Audio?


The Puritan Audio PSM 156 is getting a lot of love lately, but what about old stalwarts such as the beautifully constructed Furutech e-TP80S NCF AC power filter & distributor for 2 channel audio?

I think the REF I5i is made by Furman, not Furutech...

Sounds like you are enjoying the PSM 156 (not PMS!).

I'm looking for a modest but effective power filter in a second system, more modest than the Accuphase PS-530 in my main system that replaced a PS Audio PP12 power regenerator. 

The Puritan PSM 136 & 156 present the best value in power conditioning. However, do not audition a Shunyata Everest or Denali-Typhon T2 combo. I had a PSM 136 and upgraded to the Denali-Typhon combo. It's easily an improvement equal to a $25K component upgrade. A used Denali can be had for $4K. 

I'm not trying to hijack the post with a recommendation, but I was in the same situation thinking of upgrading to the PSM 156, which is stellar. But, I can easily state that the Shunyata performance elevation to my system was jaw-dropping. No other component, speaker, or cable (even the AQ Dragon) significantly improved my system as to what the Shunyata did.
