Hi mkgus,
Twenty years ago, when we and the bank purchased our home, the lights dimmed when the fridge and furnace powered up. A phone call to the Central Maine Power Company brought them out immediately to test. The following Sunday at 10am, they installed a new pole, transformer and lovely ground outside of our house. I later learned that on weekends, stand-by crews will often do the odd job, keeping them busy.
My supportive Master Electrician (who works Nuclear Submarine Panels, at nearby Bath Iron Works,) later isolated the two dedicated studio lines on our electric panel, away from the big power draws. Over time, I've upgraded to a Furutech outlet w/cover plate, along with a replacement male Furutech plug for my hardwired Panamax M4300-PM line conditioner. I suppose it's obvious by now that after 45 years of hi-fi, I consider isolated power and good wire no less essential to great sound than equipment choices. For me, our hobby is a process, each improvement freshening our collections and triggering our passions.
Now, let the eyerolls begin. My most recent system addition is the Furutech NCF Clear Line AC power line optimizer. In a small studio, I am always looking to add depth and MUSICAL micros to my soundstage. It accomplishes that. A caveat; I have no affiliation to Furutech and elect to buy their products from The Cable Company, keeping away from black market concerns. I'm always happy to pay full price in support of premium products.
Thassaabboutit! More Peace, Pin
