Furman Power Conditioner (SS6B) black

I've been building a nice home theater room as well as a 2-channel listening room for the past couple of years and recently started replacing all of the cheaper/generic interconnects I was using with much better-quality cables. There was a very subtle improvement in sound quality noticeable afterwards, nothing too exciting, but I wasn't expecting a huge difference anyway. Still, there was an incremental improvement, so it was worth it IMO. The last components I ever really considered upgrading were the power strips. It's embarrassing for me to admit now, but up until that point I was using cheap/plastic/generic $10 big box store units that had to be at least over 10 years old. Would I hear a noticeable improvement in sound just by replacing the power strips? Again, I wasn't expecting much, just like when I upgraded the interconnects. But I knew that what I was using was junk anyway, so I decided to try the Furmans and find out for myself. Well then. The improvement in audio quality after swapping in the Furman's was just undeniable, so much so that it gave me an audiophile "wow, I like THAT" sensation immediately. Movies, dialog and music suddenly had more clarity, depth, dynamics, detail and punch. It's like a light veil had been lifted off of the speakers and the sound became more alive and "honest". Are there better power conditioners out there? I have no doubts that there are, but to get this level of improvement in audio quality for only $25, the Furman is an easy 5-stars for me. Some reviewers have mentioned that this isn't a power conditioner; but it says right on the box that it does feature basic level active noise cancellation/reduction. I didn't buy them because I had a noise issue though, I bought this because it was recommended in the audiophile community for those who wanted a quality power conditioner but didn't have the budget for something more expensive. If you are already using a good quality power strip or conditioner, I'm assuming that you would not notice much of a difference, if any. However, if you were like me and was using garbage power strips, you might enjoy what you hear after plugging everything into the Furman's. Only complaint? Like others mentioned, 15ft of cord seems to be a little long considering the size of the conditioner itself. The extra-long length is awesome if you need it, but if you don't want the extra bulk, this is something to consider. That said, I'd much rather have a power cord that is too long than too short any day. I highly recommend this power conditioner, don't let the cord length stop you from buying.

LOOOOONG CORD! AND very robust build. Gives me peace of mind when using my expensive stereo system

I’ve always been careful about protecting all my professional audio equipment. After trying several similar products, I’ve found that this is the only one that truly has the proper certifications and the necessary components to eliminate noise from certain power outlets. Also, when there are power surges, I feel confident because this product seems to work very well. The cable quality is impressive, and its size is just right, so you can rest easy. I mainly use it inside my home, where I have my computer, audio interface, and some synthesizers connected. You don’t have to look far to realize that Furman offers 100% professional quality.

Having a power conditioner is a must have when you are working with multiple audio devices. When using this, the power to your audio gear is evenly distributed with no fluctuations, which helps to reduce hum and helps to protect your gear. Pros: -This strip has a study, metal case which gives it the ability to resist most wear and tear, especially for live stage applications. In addition, you can switch from EMI (short range interference caused by high frequency emissions within the device itself), and RFI (longer wavelength interference from external sources), and general surge protection. It has a 15 foot power cord which virtually eliminates the need for extension cords. This unit's power cable can easily reach across a small to medium sized stage. Cons: -None that I can see If you switch from a a regular power strip to a power conditioner, you will notice a big difference in the quality of your sound and reduction in unwanted hum and frequencies. If you are a musician, a Furman Power Conditioner is a must have.

Seems well built and nothing exploded so I guess it is doing its job.

I got this surge protector mainly because I wanted a higher quality surge protector that has some kind of noise filtering for my tv, soundbar, 2 subwoofers, and dish network DVr. Overall I’m very happy with this purchase which came on time thanks to Amazon due to its price and performance. However it wasn’t quite as high quality as I expected. It does a great job for providing clean power to standard electronics like the Q90C tv and Q990C soundbar connected to it, but the plugs themselves do not grip the chords that tight. Also, on my unit, the plugs can get pressed in rather easily with light pressure. The metal isn’t that thick but overall still good. It comes with a 15 foot cable which I thought I wanted until I unwrapped it and realized how long that really is! Lol. Still good performance for the price and super reliable with the one exception of the actual outlets not being reinforced enough and the light grip on the plugs.

This strip does what it does well, but temper your expectations accordingly. It has 6 outlets. The design is no-frills functional. Size wise it's not compact in any way, but that adds to the rugged feel. If you've got some audio gremlins, this may or may not help you exorcise them, but it's not a miracle worker, it's a power conditioner.

This is something else. I got this after I read about power conditioners. I thought that a high quality power strip for my TV and sound system was good enough. This is actually a game changer. It's strange how this works. But it really works. There are subtle changes with the tv and the sound system hooked up to it. I like it alot. I bought this because it seemed the cheapest in my searching. I couldn't afford the $100 or more for those. If you're running a lot of electronics from one area this can give you a "clean" electrical power source

I bought this product last few months ago... the first time i plug it The breaker went down I understand that there's a return policy but i never knew that my product is defecrive

La unidad es muy robusta y el cable es lo suficientemente largo para que no sea necesario emplear extensiones, además es muy discreta gracias al color negro tanto de la unidad como del cable lo que hace que se pierda de vista en el escenario a diferencia de los multicontactos tradicionales de colores claros o las extensiones eléctricas de colores brillantes. Filtra muy bien los ruidos aunque no hace milagros, hay lugares donde la instalación eléctrica es tan mala que es imposible eliminarlos por completo aún con acondicionadores de corriente más caros. Es una excelente opción para proteger nuestro equipo.

趣味で宅録をやっているのですが、ギター録音時のノイズが気になるので導入しました。 普通の家庭用の延長コードを想像していると面食らうと思います。デカくて重いので。 部屋の電源をすべて本品経由でとるようにしてみましたが、気づいた点が３つ。 その1。録音時のノイズがはっきり減りました。 対策前後の音源を周波帯分析にかけてＡ／Ｂ比較したのですが、グラウンドループノイズと高周波ノイズがはっきり減ってました。これは狙い通りで大満足。 その2。モニターの発色がよくなった（ようにみえる）。 こちらはデータを取ったわけじゃなく、あくまで私の主観ですが、明らかによくなったように見えます。気のせいかな。誰かデータ取ってくれないかな。 その３。真ん中のネジでもアースがとれる。 これは詳しい方からは「あたりまえじゃん」と思われるかもですね…。 見るからにアースが取れそうな感じのネジで、むしろそのためにここにこのネジがついてるんだろうな、とは初心者の私でも気づいたのですが、念のためテスターで確認してみたところ、ちゃんと導通してました。アース線つきケーブルを3点アダプターに変換するやつも買ったのですが、いらなかったです。 電源にお金をかける効果が感じられて、いい買い物をしたと思っています。

Nice portable version of a Furman. The cable is long and of very high quality. The box is a bit old-school however the design is very good for its purpose. It looks like it could take a lot of abuse and still work fine. You could even open it up and fix it if it were ever necessary. This product would qualify to be submitted in a "Buy it for life" reddit post.

Built like a tank. Very good build quality. Works as advertised, as far as I can tell, but I'm no electrician. I have two of these now. Other one I bought years ago and haven't noticed any issues. Only complaint is they don't have a 6' cord length option. This new one I have is way too long, so I have a bunch of unnecessary cord bundled around.
