Torus RM60 BAL vs Richard Gray Powerhouse

Mzkmxcv,

It isn't that it is SOOOO bad (though I do get mini surges that make my lights flicker and such) additionally, and particularly in the summer my 120v is often more like 105-110v with neighborhood demand.

Like many crazies in this hobby, I'm looking for the most perfect production and sine wave.  I've got lots of quality components, just always searching for the next level.  I've used Panamax and Monster power for half of my life now...just looking for the next THING 😉

The fact that I’ve seen even $100,000 warranties for the surge protectors at Wal-Mart and no evident warranties for the two products you mentioned, should should how confident those brands are in their products protecting from dangerous surges.

A double-conversion (online) UPS should be looked into, it’s kinda like PS Audio’s power regenerstors without the fluff, it takes incoming AC, converts to DC, then back to AC, and is used in highly important situations. Even just looking on Amazon I see ones with $250,000 warranties.

If you are getting flickering lights and only 110 volts at times out of your wall outlet, you would be better off with a PS Audio Power Regenerator. It will clean up the line and give you a steady 117 volts.  You may be able to grab last years model for a decent price or find a used one here.

Mzkmxcv: my homeowners insurance covers my electronics, so I'm not really concerned with that end of things.

Stereo5: I've considered the PS Audio products in the past...the PS 5 and PS 10 look promising for a front end application.

It’s not about the fact of if you need the warranty, it’s the fact that the manufacturers stand behind their products and are confident in its performance. Would you buy a car from a new brand that doesn’t have a powertrain warranty?
