Hi, Joe another option to consider is the PS Audio Soloist Premier, It's a in-wall line conditioner and top quality outlet all in one without the need for extra powercord, I run my front end gear through a Quintet and my current hungry Halo A21 on the Soloist, This of course is assuming you have dedicated lines if not my first choice would be the Quintet both options wont limit current. hope this helps.
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.
Thank you so much to all who help.
