Wow! $3500 for a conditioner. No good compromise in between a Tripp-lite and this unit?

Furman makes some units for home with isolated banks. Look for units with LiFT for noise reduction as well.
Furman's pro models are very reasonably priced, certainly compared to SurgeX.
Best,

Try Zero Surge 8 or 10 outlet model. They have an option for isolated duplex outlet to protect digital and analog equipment. Brick Wall also has similar outlets. I have three Zero Surge units and have been pleased with them.
The Zero Surge 8 or the Brickwall sounds ideal for my needs. If the receptacles truly do isolate any noise, I would go for this affordable solution.
I asked my friend about his Brickwall and he is very pleased with it.
bgpowell, do you know how these units are grounded? Star-grounding is supposed to be the best approach.
Don't know about the grounding but using a Brickwall AUD15 8 outlet here for a long time.
Thanks to all for your contribution to this thread. I bought the Brick Wall PW8R15AUD Surge Suppressor and have no regrets. It is vastly superior to the Furman power strip/conditioner that it replaced, (and was the same price as my Furman). The transparency of the Brickwall was immediately evident.
With my low-current components into the Brickwall and combined with my Blue Circle conditioner, I'm really enjoying the clarity and detail of my music.I spoke to a tech at Brickwall regarding their filtering technology and was told that they use a ferrite bead for isolation. Capacitors return the noise and any surge current to the neutral.
I understand now that these devices do not provide full isolation, but it's an excellent upgrade.
