Puritan PSM156 recommendation


I'm finally looking to get a proper power unit for my equipment. In order to connect my power amp, pre amp, phono, streamer/dac and turntable. So far, I've been reading a lot of great reviews on the Puritan PSM156. I can potentially get a decent discount on a new one. I have a dedicated 15 Amp wall plug. One key thing I did like as well, it states that it protects from surges.

Without comparing to something more expensive, how does this compare to the Furutech ones, Audience forte V8 Power w/ forte f3 powerChord (probably out of the question since it doesnt surge protect) and the Synergistic Research PowerCell 8 UEF (which I think also doesn't surge protect). I think the Shunyata's are way more pricier as well. Just some examples from some local shop recommendations at the lower (ish) price points.

I could surge protect my panel, but wont be able to do it for awhile. It is something I do want to eventually do.

Let me know what the feedback is on the Puritan, given its price point.

Just to add, I would start with the Classic cable and look into the ultimate to see if it is a worthwhile upgrade in the future.

Love mine but I did no actual comparisons to others. I did take some noise measurements though and it cut the line noise in half or more. The meter I used though only measured up to 10Khz. My system now sounds good no matter what time of day I listen. At the last AXPONA show Puritan had a table setup and I asked him about upgrading my basic cable with a better one and he didn’t recommend it. Not sure how much of a difference that would make. I’m sure everyone has different opinions on that. I have everything plugged into mine including my 2 REL subs and my CODA #8 amp and I have zero issues.
