if you can fit it in your budget the ps audio premier very black backgrounds and the plasma looks awsome through it also, but the music is unbelievable through it i highly reccomend it. the nest level past it would be the audiance
Power Conditioner Help
I have read several of the Threads regarding power conditioners and there are a few things I have observed.
1. Like most things in this pursuit - there are proponents and naysayers
2. There are alot of different types and products out there
3. There is of course no best solution
With that in mind - I request recommendations for a power conditioner for $700 or less - new or used -
Here are the facts
1. I live in a MAJOR urban environment - high rise apartment building, etc
2. I have alot of other "equipment" on the circuit with the stereo/video equipment and only two outlet close to all equipment - running another line from breaker is at this point not feasible
3. I need something that can accommodate, tube pre-amp, dac, large TUBE TV, digital front end, cable box, dvd player, and a few misc devices - I need isolation from one another! as well as from other equipment that shares circuit
4. I plan to plug the amp directly into the wall on one of the outlets
5. I did some voltage testing and it appears I have a pretty steady 124V
6. I love the music - I want it to sound as it "should" - I don't want something that is going to leave a signature - I want the black background without limiting dynamics.
Please feel free to recommend more than one as a list ( I like lists as you can see)

If you have a soldering iron and are minimally handy you can make something cheap and easy that works wonderfully. Go to www.audiocircle.com and search for the threads on the Felix, it's in the Lab forum. I've built more complicated designs for my main system but have this little fella' on my home theater. I'm running the TV, receiver, DVD and cable box through it. I can say there was a marked improvement in the picture, which is the most noticeable improvement. Good luck, Bob |
http://www.listenup.com/FURMAN+Elite-15+PF+i-p-Elite15PFi-p-1689474.html I have the Monster HTPS7000 on the main rig which is a fairly nice unit. My main complaint is the contacts on the outlets are not that tight. I have a Furman Elite 15i on my headphone rig. The outlet contacts are nice and snug. The link is the big brother to this unit. IMHO at $600.00 well worth the investment. Due to circumstances beyond my control (I am waiting on a replacement head amp as mine has a microphonic tube and a crackel in the right channel that is frequency dependant) and the fact that this is a fairly new system I can't acuratly judge it's affects. But it just seems to stay out of the way of the music. Good luck in your search. |
