Is your electrical system "hodgepodge" enough to have laundry outlets you can access at 220volts? If so, you can have dedicated lines by getting a Powervar step-down power conditioner. I use two of these 100 lb. bad boys to power all my amps. Solved my long-term nightmare of power supply in an old house overnight, but I also had two laundry outlets, which was quite a blessing. Contrary to limiting power, the differecne between an amp on these versus one on wall tap, is that from 10 feet or so, you won't be able to tell that the one plugged into the wall is even on.
powervar power conditioners
hi, all.
i have two quicksilver m-80 amps, a ps audio ps III phono preamp and linear control center at the heart of my system, along with a mcintosh mr71 tuner, a jolida jd 100 (modded) CDP and a rega planar 2 TT...with a pair of vandersteen 3 speakers.
i live in an old (1870's) building, in an apartment. considering the state of the hodge-podge electrical system we have here, i'm sure what ever is reaching my apartment is petty darn dirty and inconsistent.
i have been considering a power conditioner or regulator but it's hard to figure on what to buy...i have heard and read so many different opinions about what to use with what...and don't have a whole lot of money to spend...i really need to maximize my bang-for-the-bucks. i was looking at the powervar units that someone has been posting here on A-gon...but honestly, i have no idea which way to go...
anyone have any suggestions?
thanks.
