Thank you @erik_squires ! Super helpful. I’ve ordered the -20 PFi (the Rowling is nominally a 20A device) and should have it by Saturday. As others have noted, ultimately the test is how it sounds in my system, and it’s an easy return if —unlikely i hope — it doesn’t perform here as well as it does for you (and as it is designed to).
Basic surge protection with some noise filtering without strangling the amplifier?
I’m looking to get a basic multi-outlet surge protector that has some basic noise filtering and that has at least a few outlets for high-voltage equipment (amp in my case) that will not kill the sound of the amp.
Do those of you with practical experience and/or technical know-how think that that the Furman Elite -15 PF i fits this description? (From its own write-up, it does.) Are there other devices in roughly the same price range (<$1k), that I should consider?
The amps in question are a JRDG 625 V2 and a CODA CSib.
For one data point of comparison, I tried plugging the 625 V2 into a Torus RM-20 and while the sound floor did seem improved (from already very quiet to even blacker), the sound quality immediately suffered a lack of vitality and dynamism. So, the amp is not connected that way any more. The other upstream components (pre-amp, Roon Nucleus One, streamer & DAC) do seem to like the Torus though.
