RTTR Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 A buddy showed me the line of APC line conditioners yesterday that I had no clue even existed, they look pretty amazing. At first I thought they were a tad overpriced for a line conditioner but then realized they also have a automatic voltage regulator which from companies like Monster cost about 3x the price. http://www.apc.com/products/family/index.cfm?id=307 The cheapest I could find the H15 was for $330 shipped from provantage.com Anyway, I was almost going to buy a PureAV PF40 but decided to hold off, I wonder how this compares? One thing I really like is it's available in black to go with the rest of my components, the PureAV is only available in silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lo123 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 I use a 1500VA model for my computer equipment. It provides rock solid operation through all kinds of weather. This unit generates the output voltage versus only providing filter and surge protection, also has a battery backup. Model BX 1500, more geared for computer users. The AV products look nice, anyone have any feedback on them??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 For the price its a good unit,I prefer the ExactPower units(yes I know they cost way more)but are true reference conditionners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest " " Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 There are a few different types of products, some discussed on this forum, but certainly you can google the below key words. a. line conditioner b. voltage regulor c. isolation transformer d. balanced power Amoung each type, there are various approaches. Most of the ones that cost 3X use a combination of the above approaches. Word of caution on solid state UPS type of devices....most due not produce a true sine wave and as a result...dynamic range is effected.
