Furman PL-8C 15 Amp, Advanced Level Power Conditioning, SMP, EVS, LiFT, 9 Outlets, Pullout LED Lights, Isolated Outlet Banks

This unit protects the expensive amps, preamps, etc. Organizes the ac cords, looks cool. I don’t use the lights but you might want them. Does the clean electricity improve the sound, not for my ears but I still like this.

Purchased two of the Furman PL-8C units for work, not in the music industry but for clean power in the data collection side of things. So far they have performed very well. Like the rotating lights on both sides of the units with brightness control. Transformer block spacing on the back so not all the plugs are jammed together. There are also two separate banks for power. A red light will glow if you have received a big spike.

ok good

I got a new Emotiva amp and was getting 120 hz hum and buzzing. I hooked up the Furman to all my home theatre equipment and the hum and buzzing was gone. Although then the bass was weaker sounding. The Furman does rob you of current to your amp. This would only be a issue for a power amp that draws a large amount of current. So I just plugged the amp directly into the wall. The bass sounded much better that way and the hum and buzzing was also gone. So the buzzing was coming through my AC system into the TV, blu ray player, and other devices. The Furman cleans up the powerline AC. I live in a very old house from 1888 with old dimmer switches so I had alot of AC line noise. Does exactly what I needed it to do.

Definitely good quality parts and construction. I took a look inside. Big toroidal coil for filtering. Thick metal case, with grounding straps. Heavy gauge wiring where needed. I mainly bought it for the high/low voltage cutoff and the non-sacrificial surge protection. It does not affect the noise floor of my already quiet equipment. Note to those who think otherwise, this will not make your single coil guitar or noisy tube amp any quieter. The power conditioning only works on dirty line voltage, not noise originating from single coils, poor shielding, bad cables, noisy electronics, etc.
