Who uses power conditioning?

Furman Elite.

I don't notice it until it is gone.

No way I'd put my gear straight into the wall, but I come from a state with notorious bad thunderstorms and lightning.  Also, I've never heard the Furman make things worse, only better.

Hey DTX!


That's the crux of the matter. Unless you have an oscilloscope with spectrum analyzer and/or distortion meter most of us can't.


The Furman is VERY good at removing noise in the audible and EMI/RFI spectrum, not to mention among the best surge protectors money can buy. 

My experience using the Furman has been long term. That is, if I don't use I feel I am not enjoying the music well enough.


So far I'm not a big believer in power cords, especially given their prices. I do recommend shielded cords as routine, especially when cheap or DIY'd as a profilactic.

I am going to install a Install a Yeti 1000
Power Station Goal Zero. Any opinions on D/C to A/C totally Clean power?

Sounds like a cool idea, we need more people trying this. :)

I don't think it will be better than a PS Audio power plant, but definitely cheaper! :)


What I'd be curious to see are the noise and distortion data coming out of it, including testing under load, but barring that, please try it. :)

I do. My current thinking is here:
