The holes aligns perfectly, just grind a little at a time...
Yes, I'm FI-52 NCF on Furutechs DPS and it's a wonderful combination and just love it.😊

After years of debating getting a PSM 156, I ordered a used one and it will be here next week - and is fully burned in. A few questions please - pick and choose any if you have a moment: 1. I already have two (burned in) Furutech Rhodium outlets. Wouldn't adding a Furu Rhodium outlet to the 156 probably be too much of a good thing? 2. Has anyone changed an outlet in the PSM 156 (USA) and if so, was it difficult? I'm aware of the 156 NFR but only need a few outlets - int amp and phonostage. I'll also plug in my TT but it is belt driven and CD player which I rarely listen to. The 156 outlets are single not the double I have in my wall so I'd have to buy new ones and burn those in (yuck). 3. Any other mods to consider such as a Furu Rho inlet? I see the posts above. I don't think I'll be wanting to modify my "new" 156 though - maybe if a worthwhile upgrade (any new comments?). For now, I'll just see how it sounds but of course, thinking down the road. 4. Any issues placing the 156 next to my Modwright phono stage? I write this because the 9.0x's power supply is supposed to be a few feet away. I realize the 156 won't be powering the main 9.0x unit, but does it matter if you have something with that much power flowing through it next to the phonostage. My power cord will either be a LessLoss entrophic or a Spiritual PC (sliver based, newer company) as the unit didn't ship with a PC. Thank you! |
@laynes - Congrats on your purchase. I’m afraid I’m not in a position to address any of your questions. As an aside, I do recommend their ultimate cable as the main cable connecting the unit to the power outlet. I’m also a satisfied owner of two Puritan 156 units. I use one in both of my systems. Let us know your thoughts once you’ve played it in your system for a few days. I do remember my units took a couple of days to run in. |
@laynes do not place the 156 next to any component. Keep it lest e feet away. The 156 is an active conditioner with transformers inside and these transformers emit EMI/RFI and will negatively impact your amplifier, preamp and even more so the phono stage. |
Thanks to both of you for your reply. The unit was purchased used, but mint and has been burned in. I've been slammed at work and working late and so far have only listened to 1 track - first w/o the 156 and then with it - which was my amp (about 50w/ch) and phono stage. My very initial findings are: -no change in tonality except took a slight edginess off the top end with no loss of detail. I didn't even realize it was there until the 156 went in -the imaging was most improved - every instrument had its only well defined area in the soundstage -vocals were improved greatly - I could hear the inflections, etc. better. The biggest improvement actually was me being pulled into the music that much more - a lot more. For this 1 track, I started with in an inquisitive state of mind and finished with pure enjoyment. I really only have 1 source component which is my phonostage. My TT is belt-driven so the quality of power doesn't matter. This means if I can't plug my amp into it, I don't think it is worth having a power conditioner for just 1 component, although I did plug my TT into it -because, why not. I will add that I have a CD player but I almost never listen to it. I'm 99.5% vinyl. I didn't notice any diminishment in dynamics but again, only 1 song. I was and am amazed by what I've heard so far. I'll listen more over the weekend. From my million and a half posts I've read about the 156, it seems that most who have an issue with loss of dynamics or other issues by plugging in their amp own a higher powered amp. Mine is fairly low at 50 per channel and I only have the phono stage and TT plugged into it. Time will tell though and if I feel that the 156 is constraining my amp, I'll save up for a high current power condtioner. |
