Please keep me out of the Rabbit Hole - Power Strips
I am finishing a new piece of furniture to contain all of my audio gear. I need a total of 10 electrical outlets. I can not spend much on the power strip at this time but I want to make sure that I do no harm. I have heard that cheaping out on things like power conditioning, surge protection, etc... can result in treatments that can cause other issues. When I renovated the house I did install a dedicated 20 amp circuit for this main outlet. My gear is perfectly quiet. Thoughts or Suggestions welcome.

Seasons Greetings to All🎄! I’ve been very pleased with two power strips/line conditioners for my rigs. They are; Furman Elite-15i (13 outlets)and the Audioquest Powerquest 303-(13 outlets). They are both transparent (no hum-noise) and they won’t break the bank at less than $600. There are much more expensive units available but IMO these two units perform as well. Enjoy the music. O |
I also use the Wiremold power strip plugged into an Audience aR1p (original model) so I have power conditioning/surge protection for my whole system. They pop up used occasionally for around $400 and may be a good option as a stopgap if nothing else until you’re ready to shell out more for a better unit so at least you’ll have some peace of mind in the meantime. Just an idea FWIW. |
10 outlets, 20 amp capability, current protection, some noise reduction, Shunyata quality, and less than $100 per outlet. Here is my suggestion: https://sunnyaudiovideo.com/products/shunyata-research-venom-ps10 |
