From my previous ipurifiers question came many doubts, you seem very knowledgeable in this topic so I kindly request your help
Again this is for understanding of chain building.
I glanced the whole thread and I see a lot of PP3 and puritane recommendations, those seem awesome but also seem a bit high for the overall price of my chain unless used at incredible offer.
I currently use the furman Pl8-plusC
Furman doesnt specify in the manual the difference between bank A (3 outlets in the left) and bank B (5 outlets in the right) but its most likely the bank A is isolated from the bank B, so id have to keep that in mind if I were to use the ac ipurifiers hypothetically.
As you can see the furman uses its own attached power cable to connect to the wall which might not be ideal.
Currently I connect the exogal stack, ddc, pre and 1 headphone amp (5 total) and they are very far away from peaking 15ampere or anywhere near 1000 watts. I feel like my system sounds very clean to be honest.
…
Seeing the cost of the puritan and the PP3 it seems like to much of a jump, either is there any good solution in the middle, or should I just keep this is as until my system levels up considerably.
Heres an example of a possible upgrade I found, but if you know more in the mid fi please do share, I dont know conditioners.
The panamax m5300pm ($540) and m5400pm ($670) its the same product but with a voltage regulator. They dont scream audio conditioner, they use TV image and videogame in their advertisement which rubs me a bit wrong.
If I understand correctly the regulator is a bad idea for a conditioner so the m5300pm would be the better choice.
The features that are upgraded from my current furman:
-highest ac noise elimination offered by panamax
-1 more power outlet
-I get to connect my own power cable from the conditioner to the wall, which would be upgraded
-5 individual Isolated banks, 1 bank is for high current.
So what do you guys think about this product or other conditioners in the mid fi range? Are there any that are worth it? This one already seems a lot better that the one Ive got by those very simple features.
Another example:
Furman also sells the p1800pfr ($770)
which is the exact same furman conditioner shown above with the exact same features plus 2 new ones:
-the measurement of the ac noise filtering is WAY better than the previous one, furmans graphs show how this filter is at least twice as good.
-the p1800pfr has a feature where it stores a peak 45ampere to release in case of a super high load, sounds weird tbh.
-still has power cable attached to conditioner.
Thanks for any info any of you can provide, this is merely for information, not trying to upgrade right this moment.
