Needles & Grooves

I've been using Furman PST Power Conditioners, I have two. Great for the price

Thanks! $130 is out of my budget right now unfortunately. Is a new cheap one that detrimental?

From what I've read it's a bit of tricky thing price point wise. I do have a bit of biase to the one I linked because I always wait for Amazon sales and tend to use gift cards I get over the holidays. Definitely hard to recommend a 200$ power brick but that is the only one I have experience with

I think I got mine for 140$ Canadian just waiting for a sale to show up, I would just search Amazon for something in your price range and see if there's reviews from anyone using them in a studio setting

Do they go bad after 15 years?

It's more of a problem up north here, with the hard winters and heavy grid use. I wanted something that didn't just surge protect but also filtered the electricity a bit and the Furman seemed to be the only good option for what I wanted to pay!

@Melt Face Molly Drop I've seen mixed things about them going bad

@HiFi Guy any opinions on this?

Following.
Need a new surge protector (max 4 outlets) for my pedalboard.

I have the pst on the hifi. Mine is is a six strip that u bought prepandemic for like $50. I use this on my television set up, cleared up a bunch of noise in the system there and cleaned up the picture too:

@Lee Newman what I find interesting is the cheapest strips from Walmart claim to have a $50k guarantee but that furman doesn't.

Thanks for posting this btw @bdm105. I got a 2 for 80 deal on those Furmans and just set them up. Needed a hard reminder as a couple of my strips dated back to the Bush era. Power is now conditioned and sounds crisp as ever.

@Melt Face Molly Drop where did you find that deal?

Amazon. Strangely enough it seems they (3rd party) adjusted the price, must’ve realized they were well below market already
Furman SS6B 6 Plug Surge Protector (2 -Pack) Amazon.com

They shipped it via UPS and arrived within 2 days though.

Check that listing, Amazon has a warehouse listing for 2 for $62. Crazy deal

@Melt Face Molly Drop just bought 1 from American musical supply for $27 shipped.
