Best kept secret in AC line filtering conditioning

How many of you guys truly know of Puritan Audio Labs ? Not many yet ,these are made in the U.K 
I have 3 friends in Europe that own them , and found a guy at our audio club just  an hour away 
I will check out next week , and against the much more costly AQ niagra  this removes hum,noise 
like nobodies business .model 136, and  better still model 156 all under $2k check out the video.

  P = I x E
P = Watts, Volt-amps.
I = Current, Amps.
E = Voltage.

Will a 240 volt 1500 watt space heater connected to a 240 volt source produce more heat than a 120 volt 1500 watt space heater connected to a 120 volt source? No.....
Current, amps?
P / E = ?
1500W / 120V = 12.5 amps.
1500W / 240V = 6.25 amps.

Correct!

I like the concept of this grounding unit. The alternative is to use one of the mega-expensive grounding boxes which create a star-ground in a mix of earth and minerals.

Be aware that the Puritan 156 has filters on every outlet and may not work well with power amps (and integrateds) because of "current-starving" under dynamic conditions. Also, the 156 uses gas discharge tubes for surge suppression. The problem here is that GDTs take several microseconds for the gas to ionize and let-through voltages in this interval can be very high.
