Furman Upgrade to Niagra
I remember ready an article some time ago by @erik_squires on 110v power and him recommending these as a good place to start, so I bought a couple of: https://furmanpower.com/product/15a-6-outlet-surge-suppressor-strip/
I recall him saying to use one bank for analogue and the other for digital. Well, I have no analogue gear, so I just use all the outlets as needed.
What would an Audioquest Niagra 3000 or even the Niagra 1200 do for my system over and above my simple power strips, would the large monetary investment be a substantial beneficial to my system over my pair of PST-6s? Thanks.
@classic8 because that requires real surge engineering chops. 🤣
Not to mention a willingness to undergo UL testing. Even when it comes to testing, in all my life I have seen exactly 1 article where surge protectors were actually tested with surges. The rest of the Internet press/influencers and magazines evaluates surge protecdtors on features and specs alone. |
@navyachts To be honest I’ve stayed away from boutique noise protection. I’m afraid if you want to know about the effectiveness of devices like that you’ll have to ask others. What I can say is that series mode surge protectors excel in reducing noise because of how low a frequency they start working, around 3 kHz. That’s absolutely in the audible range. A lot of RFI/EMI filters don’t even do anything below 100 kHz, which is radio range. What I do use is iFi power adapters and shielded power cords and interconnect cables. The ifi supplies reduce AC noise generated, and the shielded power cables prevent pickup of noise after the AC power has been cleaned. |
@erik_squires thanks as always Eric! |
