So here's the scoop:
Furman power conditioners are nothing more than a rack mountable surge protector with an LED on the front. When you open the things up they're not better than an ordinary cheap ass surge protector strip that you can find at the wal-mart for $10. If you're cool with paying $150 for aesthetics then good for you, but to anyone else they're a big waste of money. Forget those Monster Power surge protectors too, they're in the same class. If you want real surge protection that is actually going to offer protection beyond the standard options you should buy a Tripp Lite unit. They supply extremely clean and efficient power as well as test your circuit before interfacing. So if you have problems with your wiring or a sketchy circuit the unit will refuse to power up. Just thought I'd pass along some knowledge since it took me by surprise.
