5.0 out of 5 stars Solid investment for a home studio, November 5, 2009

This review is from: Furman PL-PLUS C 15 Amp, Advanced Level Power Conditioning, SMP, EVS, LiFT, 9 Outlets, LED Voltmeter, Pullout LED Lights, Isolated Outlet Banks (Electronics)

There are several types of power conditioners out there. There are really three things to look for: circuit isolation, whether the circuitry is sacrificial, and whether the unit just protects against spikes (not truly a conditioner--though many claim to be they only do this) or actually smooths out the power signal.

This unit (designated by the plus) is non-sacrificial, meaning that if it takes a big spike it won't die. A nice feature. (I would suggest getting the plus model if you buy any Furman, anything less and you could be stranded after a voltage spike.)

It has two separate circuit paths, so hook up your power amp and computer on a different circuit than your digital recording interface and pre-amps and you should be okay. More expensive units isolate every circuit, less expensive all share one--meaning that a noisy device like a power amp for studio monitors can contaminate the clean circuit you are providing to the recording interface.

This unit cleans up the power signal nicely. Where I am the power is noisy, contaminated by fluorescent lights and gets a lot of clicking and popping from a refrigerator's compressor. The noise is all gone, and all I hear is the sound coming out; I have a very low THD amp and no longer even hear the amp hiss. Amazing.

The pullout lights leave a little to be desired, but that isn't why I bought this power conditioner. Overall, dollar for dollar, this is one of the best investments I have made for my home recording studio.

5.0 out of 5 stars My 3rd one, May 9, 2011

This is my third one of these I've purchased. Not because there's anything wrong with them, but the only ones I trust. I've had them as a part of my rack since 1986. That original one is still at work today. Awesome and dependable product.

While I can't speak much to the technicals since I'm not very savvy with power conditioners, but I'll say this, I'm very happy with it and really can't imagine buying another brand that is clunkier and tailored for stereo/tv equipment. Probably the biggest treat is I really didn't know what "Pull Out" LED lights meant. Awesome! Perfect for looking at DVD's in a dark room, and a great night light if so inclinded. I did watch the price of this and silimiar items for a year, and they GREATLY fluctuate.
