Tripp Lite TMC-6 6-Outlet Under Monitor Surge Protector (1440 Joules, Tel/DSL) Review

This sits under my monitor and provides an up close and easy way to turn on my system. I can selectively turn off parts of the system such as printers and speakers while leaving the computer and monitor in the on state. It also provides additional electrical surge protection which is needed here in Florida with our ligtening storms. Highly recommended, and it is an excellent value.

I use the PL-8C in my bass rig. One of the major reasons I decided to get this particular Furman is because a friend of mine told me that his worked for him. I mainly wanted to get something to protect all of the pieces in my rack, but I was surprised to find how much this power conditioner augments my sound.
For one thing, there is a marked decrease in signal noise, and hum. I swear that out of left field, my bass has this punchy sound that was never there. I love how there is a outlet on the front of this Furman, as I use it to power my laptop, which I use to read music off of. Also, there are 2 different banks of outlets, so that everything isn't on one circuit. The outlets in the back are spaced far enough apart so that you can have up to 3 wall wart type AC adaptors for pedals or other rack gear, although they all seem to be powered with a universal plug these days. The LED lamps are nice and bright, will last forever, and can be dimmed! Awesome!
I never have that sinking feeling of walking into a club and seeing seriously dubious electrical wiring and outlets. As long as everything is going through the Furman, it's good to go. Your rack can get hit by lightning and the Furman would just turn off everything, and dissipate the excess energy. Afterward, you just power it up again and keep
rocking.
This installed in the rack super quick. Its a little heavy for rack gear, but nothing that a professional rackmount couldn't handle. Its also quite deep, and reaches all the way back to the rear of my rack, so that you never have a problem of finding outlets, or reading anything on the back there. There is even an attachment for a gooseneck lamp.
I found mine as a demo unit from a wholesaler, so I got a good deal. But I would gladly pay $180 if I had to replace it with no regrets.

American DJ PC-100A 8 Channel Power Strip with Lighted Toggles Review

Bought two of these for my home office. The cost of electricity just when up 38% per kilowatt hour by me. First strip is in an equipment rack controlling network gear like DSL modem, firewall, Enet switches, KVM switch, monitor, speakers. It's worked fine.
The second strip is in my office controlling the desk top PC, 3 printers with print servers, various USB hubs, speakers, monitor and such. A problem has come up when using it with the desk top PC. Using the power strip switch to turn on the PC causes the individual switch to fry. And it's stuck in the ON position with the light illuminated, not a failsafe design.
Happened to two positions on the power strip. Measured the peak and steady state watt draw of the PC, I'm and engineer and have such instruments, and it's way within the power strip specs. Using a different power strip with a switch on the PC has never been a problem, that's what I used before. Removed the laser printer from the power strip just in case.
I'll replace the power strip switches rather than RMA the entire power strip. Internally the wiring and outlets can handle the advertised load but the switches cannot.

My initial look into power conditioners was to protect my equipment then I saw that this had some line noise technology and let me tell you it kills the harshness by plugging everything nearby your equipment into it. I have a Mesa Quad preamp, Eventide Pitchfactor, Behringer Vintage Overdrive, Eleven Rack, Phillips 80 watt powered speakers, an Oyen Digital external hard drive, and a desk lamp plugged in. It is really great to have the extra room for the power supplies that are large also...and I have the front outlet if I need to plug in something else. I re recorded a song and killed eleven plugins in Pro Tools that I was using to try and get rid of the harshness. I thought it was my playing. Nope. You owe it to yourself to get one of these!
Peace of mind, and great sound! Recommended if you can't find a 1215 used or something. I found one but the guy on Craigslist wont get back with me so I got this one and I know Amazon will back it up too! I am an Amazon prime user and ordered this early Friday and got it early afternoon Saturday for $4 shipping.
