Line Conditioner:To plug or not to plug Big Amp in
Hello. I am on the market for a line conditioner, the Belkin Pure AV PF60 seems to me is a good bargain.
I have both vintage Threshold and PASS Labs power amps.
What attracted me to the Belkin PureAV PF60 is that it has an isolation plug outlet for Hi-Current power amps.
Can you hook up a Threshold power amp like an SA/4e or Pass Labs 350.5 >into the Belkin PureAV PF60 or any line conditioner ? Or is the power amp with high current too much for the Belkin? Both these amplifier have tremendous amp pull. Especially the Threshold SA/4e pure class A amp. Which is an incredible power amp by the way
Had tried other conditioners in the past with different power amps years ago and it did not work out. Either the line conditioner started to hum or reset. Or the power amp would sound thinned out it was not worth it.
I want protection on my Threshold and Pass labs amp. Currently plugging power amps directly to the wall.
Questions ??? :
Is there anybody familiar with the Belkin PureAv PF60 line conditioner ? Can it support a big hungry power amp ? Or am I just better off plugging my power amps directly into the wall and cross my fingers. Can a sudden loss of electricity hurt your equipment while your listening to it ?
I want protection but at the same time don't want to diminish my sound greatly. My electric is average as a suburb should. Once in awhile loss of electric like most people. No major logistic problems like some with the bad surges or electrical storms. Which I just unplug my equipment to be safe.
01-04-07: Joefama OK. Sounds like forget about the Belkin line conditioner.
Is there any line conditioner than can support a very Hi-current power amp such as the Threshold SA/4e, Pass Labs 350.5? Or just go directly into the wall with the big amps.
