Power management.
Looking to upgrade my current power management set up which consists of a PS Audio AV3000. I went this route as it allowed my a way to switch on/off my McIntosh MC240 tube amp. That system is now history and I'm looking to do something geared towards the Luxman L590Aii set up. One option is to go right into the wall with the integrated and the rest of the front end into the PS Audio, of course that would be too simple, LOL.
One thought I had was a dedicated 240V line and plugging a RGPC Substation (240V version) into it which will step down the voltage to 120. This converts the voltage right where its needed and cuts down on voltage loss, 1/10th of what you will get with a 120v line. In addition you get balanced power, 120volts on each side. Of course this is overkill but still something to consider. So the question becomes what shall I do?

I'm a fan of both RGPC & PurePower, I use them together.

I use the RGPC POWERHOUSE and have been very happy with it for 5 years +. It can be overkill, but I enjoy the peace of mind.

I'll have to take the exception view here...personally not a fan of Richard Gray.
I really like Shunyata and Running Springs power distribution. The Purepower 2000 is really good, too. The only downside for me is that it is very big and very heavy.
