But, it is a physcially large unit. If you want something almost as good, but a lot less expensive and smaller in the rack, check this one out:

It includes the 2 biggest noise reducing elements: LiFT and SMP.

Power Conditioners - and where they are placed
Furman is a really great choice. The main advantage of the unit you are thinking about vs. smaller is multiple banks of filtering, and power factor correction. But, it is a physcially large unit.

I own two large power conditioners. The 88lb Furman sits halfway between the amplifier (which is between the speakers) and the audio rack (which is near my seating) I used to use that PC for the amp too, not anymore, but too lazy to move it. It sits on the floor up on spikes. The other PS Audio P-600 is behind the audio rack..One comment on placing something ON TOP of a power conditioner... If it has a big transformer.. I would say you should at least have an extra inch of space added between the top and any component over it. Another consideration is realize plugging and unplugging power cords.. plus if you use aftermarket thick and unwieldy cords.. Some racks block acess.. You make need to just put the power conditioner on the floor where you can allow power cords to fit without a hassle.Also if the conditioner is off the floor.. then the weight of aftermarket power cords and them pulling out of the AC outlets is a big PITA too. So all in all the floor is the best overall place for one. Maybe up on spikes to keep the bottom vents clear of the carpet. |
Hello to all... On the subject of PLC's, I'm looking for owner's manuals for two Models of the Vans Evers Brand PLC's... I need manuals for "Clean Line Jr Model 11", and "Clean line 8-outlet Model 82" Next best thing would be a response from a member who owns either of these that could answer Question about "settings" on the units They are very well regarded PLCs... See 1997 Vans Evers Review All Models https://www.soundstage.com/noisy15.htm See also Mike Vans Evers' article about 'Tuning" by placement and tweets to PLCs The Art & Science of Audio System Tuning http://www.positive-feedback.com/pfbackissues/0705/vansevers.7n5.html Thanks for any info on his manuals, and I hope the articles above are of interest in setting up any PLC, David AKA Dken1 |
