APC Smart-UPS 1500

Hmmm. How 'bout this. I plug my TT motor into the unit to take advantage of the voltage stablization and then then I plug a PS Audio Ultimate Outlet into the unit. I take advantage of the voltage stablization and surge protection and use the UO to provide a "clean" signal to my amp and phono stage?

As you can see, I'm trying hard to fine some use for this. Otherwise, it's going to the curb. It's a shame because it's basically a new unit in great condition.

This is a true sine wave unit and could certainly be used in an audio setup. Who cares if it's meant for computers. It should still provide some "power conditioning", along with the crappy mov surge "protection". You also get the benefit of a battery backup... good for a HT projector or whatever. It's rated at 1440VA that's enough to not restrict power to most amps OR your source components. You probably wouldn't want the amp plugged in to a battery backup outlet though.

Best way though is try it and see. A lot less expensive than some comparable "audiophile" power conditioner units, especially in your case. Course that leads into the whole power conditioner usefulness argument...

Thanx Musicman. I'll give it a shot when my amps get here.

BTW, why don't you think I should plug my amps into the battery backup outlets? Just curious.
