Problem: Power. Solution: ?


Problem:
Live in a converted warehouse in New York City. Not moving. No means to adjust outlets, no idea about power "quality."

Solution for conditioning/powercords:
?

(need to protect two "sources" only: CD and integrated amp).

I like (both of) the ExactPower units. I think, after doing a lot of due diligence and research that for now anyway, they get more things right design-wise than the others, and are therefore a better value. But that's just my conclusion. (I am not associated with any audio equipment manufacturer)

My advice: READ, read, read! Compare data (the hardest part!) Then, call the manufacturers and ask questions about specifications or features you don't understand, and don't let them off the hook until you are comfortable with their explanations. . . . .

Remember, when you select a piece of equipment (or a piece of fruit, or a mate even!), you've automatically UN-CHOSEN many others. Do all you can to make sure the ones you've "un-chosen" are truly less qualified. It's your money/time/life/satisfaction etc.
Oh, if it were that simple. BTW, I yam' Captian Simple.I have almost bought 3 different conditioners in the last week or so. I like the "un"-part/reference. The phobia of leaving the best "un-chosen" one behind is the problem. I swear I have read so many blurbs for so many of the higher end conditioners.---Everybody says their product is the best and they all take you to euphoria,and beyond. Some do things differently and claim their way is best. With all the end results being similar.--- BTW, does anybody know how long it takes for a 'mov' to fail? As the competition jumps all over each other that seems to be a comon place to start.
You probably have access to 460 three phase power. I'd get a BIG isolation transformer, 460V, three phase...
I remember reading about mov's in an expert article in Byte magazine years ago. IIRC, there are differences in quality, but they all fail after a certain amount of stress, leaving your equipment uprotected. At that time, anyway, the technology allowed the mov to fail with no visible evidence that it had done so. The writer recommended a different approach to surge protection. I believe he preferred transformers.
