Please share pics of what inside YOUR power conditioners


Hi all,

How to share pics here? Can we?

I’m curious to see what INSIDE of your power conditioners or power distribution If you have ever opened them up and pictured.

Please kindly add brand and model as well.
I’m not interested for their sound signatures or how they sound in your system …. Just pics.
Please, PM me if we aren’t allowed to add pics here.

Thanks

I've always found it a bit odd there is so much talk about dirty power, and so much money spent equipment to provide the absolute best signal and yet so many members just plug their amps directly into the wall.  I use my Furman for two reasons.  First, it filters out all the line noise and ground loops, and for the protection of my very expensive equipment against power surge damage, no matter how rare the chance of that is.  My Furman can deliver 20 amps of current, and my entire system only draws about 5 amps, so I'm not concerned about lack of power for the momentary spikes.  I've heard no improvement in sound when I've tried the amps plugged directly into the wall, so I don't do it.  Having the Furman at the beginning of the electrical chain gives me peace of mind and you can't out a price on that.  

these things are glorified power switches. They contain heatsinks, capacitors and transformers, and somehow this is all for the better.

Never mind all the wonderful power supplies that exist in your components.

Unless you live in apartment building where everybody likes to dry their hair all the time and has old refrigerators, you really really really don’t need this thing.

It seems to be a fad where everyone feels they need it.

The real noise problems are the damn landscapers and the leaf blower’s surrounding you from all your neighbors. When the hell are they gonna solve this landscaper noise problem, it’s getting worse, they don’t use mufflers on their machines. Absolutely horrifying.

I'm not using power conditioning any longer but this is the inside of my former PC the ExactPower 2000
