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?

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.

you don’t need a power filter or power whatever do not waste money.

never mind if you get paid to promote their power filters

@wig well that is what I was wondering- it didn’t sound any better, noticeably, right after hooking it up, but it may have been 2 days later, and I was quite taken back by how good the system sounded.

A few days later and I get around to A/B’ing it, but once I unplug do you think, or have your read, that that "undoes" what was a decent "settled" ground to earth? I would think, you know the speed of electricity being what it is, once it is plugged in it would instantly ground.

I know Puritan does state that a wet soil will ground better, and more rods would only improve it, but of course it is hard to know whether one has an excellent ground or not, and how this varies day to day.
