The Furman has no fans, but a slight hum, and slight clicking sound as it adjusts. Available new. :)
Low incoming voltage
Any way to increase incoming voltage?. I am constantly at 109-111V during most of the day. I just happen to be on a leg with many Cannabis factories here in Mich and my local electric service provider (DTE) says this is the main reason.
I do not think I will get any relief from them and will probably be ok when the weather cools, but very frustrating when I don't have enough juice to efficiently run a pair of monoblocks in a room I just built for listening.
Any ideas on how to increase voltage?. I have native 200 amp service.
Thanks for any input,
Russ

You need what is called a "voltage regulator." Most power conditioners don’t have this feature because it is always expensive on account of the big, heavy iron and copper parts, and for most of us it is not needed. In your case you really do. Here’s the one I use when needed: https://amzn.to/2EmQSnn Make sure your wiring is up to snuff, and that if you have fuses they have not been altered from code. Voltage regulators aren’t magic, they trade voltage for current, so they may push the current a little more. If you don’t mind spending more and want all the noise and surge protection bells and whistles, this is the fancy version: https://amzn.to/2QlEma3 Again, they key word here is "regulated." Furman makes a few conditioners which are regulated, and many that are not. Whatever brand you buy, you want to make sure it includes that phrase. PS Audio regenerators do this, but at a severe cost penalty. Also, the Sanders Mag-Tech amps have built in compensation for this. Good amps by all accounts. Best, Erik |
