Furman Upgrade to Niagra

@tonywinga Very interesting. I remember a few years ago at a show in New York (THE show?) Richard Gray’s Power Company made an absolute killing. The hotel power was terrible and lots of TVs were on display and looking poor. Word quickly spread that the TV’s on a Power Company conditioner were doing better than those that were not and many vendors were buying units right there.

As you know, I’m a Furman fanboy, so I am not surprised it helps, but the more a conditioner helps, the worse your power quality was to begin with. In your case I think it is really worthwhile to understand why your starting point is so poor.  Might be worthwhile to have an electrician come and check things out.

Over Covid I was out of work and sold all my gear (and my house) just to survive, in that old set up I had a Furman PF Elite that I let go for pennies on the dollar. Wish I had it (and my old system) back again...

ECON 101

- Have up to 12 mortgage payments in a savings account dude

- Multiple revenue sources is key (in case one fails). Re-examine your career and level of job security.

- Don’t hang out with audiophiles (or forums dedicated to them) unless you are rich. Most of them are just trust fund babies. A few of them got rich by their own inner aptitude (but, point is...they got rich somehow).

That’s deep! @deep_333 

Save and avoid expensive debt. Home mortgage is unavoidable for most of us but still better than renting. (Maybe that paradigm has changed since Covid). Car loans are avoidable but I indulged myself a few times with new cars over the years. If you borrow money for a car it is key to keep it clean and looking/running its best so that you can sell quickly if you must. Don’t spend money you don’t have. Wait for it. Plan for the worse, hope for the best. A mortgage is a must when starting out; but having no mortgage (or rent due) is an amazing freedom and frees up a lot of cash.

Best song: LA Dreamer by Charlie on their Lines album. Got that record from a cut out bin in the 80s.

@tonywinga that’s even deeper, but thank you for the sound (no pun intended) advice! Maybe we should change the name here to Moneybgon!
