Power


What is a good power conditioner that I can use without breaking the bank? Also, what is a good AC power cable I can use for that, plus the Schiit Vidar power amp that isn't super expensive? I am currently using the stock cable for the amp. Thank You!

The least expensive quality line conditioner, line conditioner 
the Audio Quest Niagra 1200 , $995 , at sunny Audio maybe a bit lower 
cheaper units use low grade AC sockets AQ great little unit 
next nit in their line $2500, 
A dedicated line if possible 20 amp awg 10 lower resistance ,
and a 4 wire ,dual ground much lower noise , one is common ground ,
the other is a isolated insulated ground which for sure lowers the noise floor 
my Audiophile friend is  a master electrician and we tried 3 wire ,then 4 
and silver contacts on 20 amp breakers hard to find he had to source them took a month,and order $60 each x2 vs stock Copper $12 each silver breakers much better acoustically  copper needs to be changed after 5-6 years due to pitting oxidation ,silver, silver oxide actually is fine.and a solid Copper gold outlet 
Dave Elledge's P.I. Audio UberBuss is not only the best power conditioner out there but it is extremely fairly priced.

I also changed my outlet receptacles to Dave's Graphene treated, upgraded P&S Hubbel; 5362A UberPuerto receptacles.

To the poster who said a p.c. will not affect audio quality, I say Bunk. It reduces noice and the U.B. can provide unlimited current with a power factor correction of 1.

There are no surge suppressors inside and the outer box is non-metal to avoid Eddy currents.I had a Seimens FS140 whole house surge suppressor installed.


The power cable to your power conditioner is THE most important power cable in your system. I bought a Moneoone Supernova for my UberBuss.
I have a 32A Neutrik connector on the UberBussand Supernova and the Supernova will be plugged into a dedicated 30A line.

when I see a dealer trash a manufacturers product (Furman), my brain says to stay away from that dealer.  Do you have an axe to grind with Furman?
Troy should not be allowed to post anything — it’s always a hot mess. At least Steve is coherent if still heavily biased and self serving.
