APC Smart-UPS 1500


So, I got one of These today from an office we closed. Would the voltage stabilization be worth using it in my system?

I'm not sure if there would be any other benefit to me other than the surge protection.

Thoughts?

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...
