Power strip recommendation.


I have had the PS Audio PPP in my system for sometime now with absolutely no noticeable sonic improvements. I just had 2 20amp outlets wired directly into the panel with 10awg gauge wire with i must say better and satisfying sonic results. Much reduced noise floor. As far as i can see/hear, the power entering my home is already very stable and "clean".

Long story short, i will remove the PPP but would still need a hight quality power strip or perhaps a passive device like Audience but i am skeptical that such passive devices would reap any sonic benefits either. I am looking for the BEST return/value for money and i believe that the power strip option is the way to go. My equipment is all ARC Reference.

Suggestions welcomed.

I recently got the APC H15 and have been very happy. I can't say I've heard much, if any, difference in sound quality from my SACD player, but maybe a small improvement. Certainly nothing negative. Maybe the placebo force is not strong with you?
You might consider something like the APC P8V that retails for under $100 and has eight outlets. APC is a trusted company when it comes to power protection.
Might I suggest a Synergistic Research Powercell 4 Powerstrip. They are relatively new but are based off of the Powercell 10SE technology which one 2009 awards best. I would suggest the 10SE to anyone...

Is your need for a power strip to get more outlets or do you need filtering or surge protection? Either way, any device you use will have a "sound," at least that's been my experience. As with everything power related, you need to try a variety of things in your system and see what works best for you. There are several lustsworthy hunks of metal power strips out there (Oyaide, Furutech, Acoustic Revive) but I have no idea if they sound any good.
