power conditioning question gentlemen

      I,m considering a power conditioner /surge unit ,Two sunfire subs,nu vista intergrated(draws some juice) ,transport,dac,tt, phono section (dc-ac i may just plug in wall)  .Dedicated 20amp run directly to room x 2 hospital grade rec. I have been looking into richard grays,furman ref,shunyata etc.I have a unique set up here in nor cal.I am completley off grid!,I run a serious solar and res set up with a genny back up.The power is pretty consistant although during changes in genny start up or at time it does fluctuate a little .I never hear it or have never measured a spiked it drops slightly during those milliseconds.I would like to snag a used one in the 1k range .
thoughts??

Well, like is relative.  It's relative to how much $$ I'd have to spend. :) :) :)

I do like big iron/transformers, and power regenerators.

If I could have it all, I'd go that route but in your case the two things I would NOT give up are surge protection and voltage regulation.  After that it's just how much extra $$$ do you want to spend. :)

Best,


Erik

Its not free lol .. Of  course its all relative . In audio sometimes it becomes a little too much for me thats why i got away from it .. Too much keeping up with the jones spend spend spend it becomes diminished return . At some point you have to breath and release whether you have 5k or 500k involved

@oleschool

I totally get it. That’s why I make my own when I can and gave up on things that don’t offer phenomenal benfits. I make my own speakers, cables, and music server which leaves me with a lot of cash for a nice DAC and room treatment.

Best,


Erik
