Just make sure that the sum of amperage draw of all the components connected to the power strip does not exceed or over tax the circuit.
Power strips- too many choices
Out of necessity I need to use a power distributer/ strip. I am impressed with how many options there are and how varied the reviews of the strips are; even some discussing degradation of the sound. It seems surge protection would be valuable but cant figure out the other features. Trying to decide between, Isotek vs Gigawatt vs PS audio.
Don't want to spend too much as there are other cabling needs pending. Further complicating the purchase; I have 7 cords and at least per the Isotek website it seems that its best to use only one outlet lest resulting in "noise" from the outlier. ( but isn't the idea of the strip to clean up that "noise") Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This comes up so often I wrote a blog about it: https://inatinear.blogspot.com/2019/04/power-management-for-frugal-audiophiles.html |
Remember, power strips are just power distributors, they multiply the number of receptacles. A lot of strips do a little bit more, but at that point they are really low-end conditioners. Surge protectors do what their name implies. Then there are balanced transformers. You need to read the fine print carefully to find out exactly what's in the box (and even then, you might not really know). Most units combine two, three or four of these functions. |
