Power Conditioners - and where they are placed

Hi All,

I'm looking to get a proper power conditioner for my home system. I've been looking at Furman, Audioquest, PS Audio, etc. Furman appearing to be the best bang for buck (Furman Elite 15 PFi).

I currently have very limited rack space. Would placing the conditioner on the bottom of my rack with a PS4 on top of it be the end of the world? Obviously this is not ideal, but it would need to have either a 4K blu-ray player or a PS4 on top of it to fit it in the rack.

Thanks in advance.

Furman is a really great choice. The main advantage of the unit you are thinking about vs. smaller is multiple banks of filtering, and power factor correction.

But, it is a physcially large unit. If you want something almost as good, but a lot less expensive and smaller in the rack, check this one out:

It includes the 2 biggest noise reducing elements: LiFT and SMP.

Best,
