Power filtering – Furutech or Puritan Audio?


The Puritan Audio PSM 156 is getting a lot of love lately, but what about old stalwarts such as the beautifully constructed Furutech e-TP80S NCF AC power filter & distributor for 2 channel audio?

Here is another reason to go with Puritan: I bought a groundmaster for my PSM156 4 months ago, and finally got around to driving in a 6' ground rod, fishing some solid core copper along the joists, down the wall, etc. and hooked it up. 

Does my PSM156 just sound "twice" as good as it did before? 😯 

I'll do some further assessment, maybe get my daughter to do an A/B, as it is so easy to do compared to cable unhooking, and do a writeup in the near future, but for now I don't want to unplug it :) 

Just to follow up regarding a groundmaster connected to the PSM156, I must have had a really good night sound-wise at that moment in time. Was that the purity of the electricity or my ears, I don't know. Just now going back and forth plugging and unplugging in the ground master I don't notice any difference at all. This is a fun and yet frustrating hobby; reminds me of golf. 

@ mclinnguy,

Give the unit a few days to settle and allow the ground path time to establish.
