Belkin PureAV PF60

I saw a thread about this unit over in Cheap and Cheerful over at AC and decided that with the good things said there and at $125 each, I couldn't resist and picked up a couple.

Well they arrived today, and I must say that upon first inspection I'm quite impressed! The units are heavy and well made, with solid construction and a VERY thick shielded 14 gauge power cord rated for 600v. I'll be hooking one up in the living-room for the LCD, x-box, blu-ray, and receiver there, and I'm also going to put one in the basement on my main system. I'll report back on sound after some listening. I checked today and they've gone up in price to $190, but still a pretty good deal from what I can see, and Amazon has them for $168 http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-AP41300fc10-PureAV-Theater-Console/dp/B001541R5W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323881971&sr=8-1

Forgot to mention that when the Black one is on deal the Silver one is not. And vice versa.

Well I really like it! It has improved my system a good deal!

Disclosure: I was running my system through a decent, but still simple Belkin power-strip before this, as I only have one outlet near my system.

This unit has given me a more quiet background, more expansive sound-stage, and better dynamics too. Well worth it for me!!!

What no double blind test ?/

Great for video applications. A monster HTS 3500 as well as a Tice enhancer have been serving us well for years.
Good to know about the Belkin.

yeah, you need to put cotten in your ears

Great that this is working out for you Barry. I had the smaller PF30(?), and it didn't quite cut it in my audio system.
Plus it hummed, loud enough I could hear it from my sweet seat.

Barry (NJ) · December 20, 2011, 06:56:42 PM

Wow, hummed? The 2 units I have are dead quiet, the one I have down in my main system has actually quieted some of the transformer hum my amps have. I'm a week in now, and I still feel it's improved the sound of my system. But again, it did replace a far simpler power strip that may have been chocking my system somewhat.

I had 2 PF60's, neither one hummed.

FYI, it appears the price has gone up and is now cheaper to purchase through Amazon.com.
