Sounds like a cool idea, we need more people trying this. :)

I don't think it will be better than a PS Audio power plant, but definitely cheaper! :)


What I'd be curious to see are the noise and distortion data coming out of it, including testing under load, but barring that, please try it. :)

Is there a good way to measure this noise?  I use a  Furman Elite-15 PF i 13 and don't know that I can tell any real difference.  I'm in an apartment in Uptown Dallas so it's very urban but I figure my apartment power is quite dirty.  

Also using Pangea power cables.  

My problem really is doing an A/B comparison.  It's almost impossible.  Actually it is impossible since ambient noise is always changing and the time it takes to change out the wiring confuses the mind.

Hey DTX!


That's the crux of the matter. Unless you have an oscilloscope with spectrum analyzer and/or distortion meter most of us can't.


The Furman is VERY good at removing noise in the audible and EMI/RFI spectrum, not to mention among the best surge protectors money can buy. 

My experience using the Furman has been long term. That is, if I don't use I feel I am not enjoying the music well enough.


So far I'm not a big believer in power cords, especially given their prices. I do recommend shielded cords as routine, especially when cheap or DIY'd as a profilactic.
