And I thought you had a shipping problem!
UPS for high end gear
I plan to buy a Trinnov Altitude 16 surround sound processor and already have a madVR Envy Core. These are computers and do not like power outages.
So, The Furman Elite-20 PFi that I have in place for power amps is not adequate as it is not a UPS. UPS are also not adequate for power amps, thus the reason for both a voltage regular and an UPS (like a boat, just 'bring along another thousand").
Here are the alternatives, the CyberPower - CP1500PFCRM2U for $410, the Furman F1500-UPS for $2300 and the Nice MB1500 for $1400. I never heard of the Nice brand before, but apparently it is the same internally as the Furman as they are both Furman brands. It is also sold at Crutchfield, a reliable dealer I have used for many years. The CyberPower is more standard consumer grade, while the Furman and Nice are for the high end audiophile market.
I could use a bit of feed back and experience from the group before blowing yet more hard earned dollars.
Thanks and Happy New Year everybody!

Make sure your power is good to begin with. Get a cheap voltage meter and monitor your AC and leave it in for a week. Furman wiht SMP also includes EVS, Extreme Voltage Shutdown, but if your power varies a lot day to day you may want to put a Furman regulator in front of it. I do this because the voltages do sag with the weather and my AC units turning on and off, along with my neighbors. I live in an area that is prone to lightning and random power disturbances.
