Power Bars

I currently use a Museatex CDD transport
Mustatex Bitsteam DAC with latest mods
Simaudio intergrated.

I've spent a small fortune already on wiring, everything from moray james to harmonic tech interconnects, I was wondering what a good power bar would be?

As it stands right now I'm using a very cheap ($100) Acoustic Research power bar. I want one that allows me to plug in all my power cords, (all of which are after market) and doesn't dampen current or voltage flow to my electronics. Althought the AR power bar says to act as a "conditioner" I have a hard time believing it isn't sucking the life out of the Simaudio and other gear.

I've been looking at the Blue Circle MusicBars. They seem in tune with what I want to spend.

Perhaps somebody could lead me down the right path. I have 3 peices that need to be plugged in. The wall outlet is 6 feet away.

Will the Running Springs Haley fit within your budget at $1199.00? Not only will you get 6 outlets, you will have outstanding fuel for your equipment. It is non-coloring, non current limiting power conditioning as well as protection from spikes an brown outs.

Lush, do you require surge protection? If not, try a PS Audio Juice Bar. I would try to plug your integrated directly into the wall though.

I just went through this. Before settling on a Powervar, I talked to Gilbert @ Blue Circle about the Music Ring and, if I could have afforded it, the 1200 would've been near the top of my list. If the wattage/amps is high enough (12-18 amps), most amplifiers can be plugged into it. I also talked to the BPT folks and the 2.5 would be another good choice. Shunyata got mixed reviews. Good luck.
