Power Wedge 1 vs Furman Elite 15 PF


I have the choice of buying one of these used, which would be my best option in terms of protection and sound quality?

Thanks in advance :)

I also have the Furman Elite 15. My whole 2 channel system (tube pre-, tube monoblocks ,music server, SACD, and turntable)runs through it, I noticed a big drop to a black silence background that I didn't know could be there. I just wish I could turn off the blue digital display when I want to.
I'll probably be getting another one for the home theater setup after the New Year.
Keith - Off the topic but...I use a black Sharpie marker to tame down excessively-bright lights on components. It might not work as well on a big wide light like the Furman's, but if it doesn't look successful, a damp paper towel and some rubbing will take it off. I've done it several times now and it's greatly improved the listening experience in the dark.

Budget idea from Furman.

I purchased a Furman PF-Pro R POWER FACTOR LINEAR AC POWER CONDITIONER brand new from a seller on Ebay for less than $200 a few years ago. This is a rack-mounted line conditioner designed for use by professional musicians. I LOVE it! It improved sound staging and for video sources plugged into it, improved picture-quality immensely. I bought a second one for my bedroom system. What a value!

Look this unit up at the Furman website. The specs are very similar to the Elite 15 PF and that is why I gave it a try.

I had my Hi-Fi dealer contact Furman to ask what the differences between the Elite 15 PF and PF-PRO R might be. He mentioned that the Elite has "star-grounding" and the PF-PRO R does not. I have not given the 2 units an A/B, so I can't confirm this leads to an audible/visible difference in performance.

Good luck!
