First off I just want to say I'm a skeptic when it comes to power products (all except battery systems).
I ran 2 circuits to my rack and really screwed myself by only putting single gang boxes in
With the pending arrival of new gear I needed more outlets and surge protection. I heard good things about the new PS Audio gear and exchanged a few emails with Paul McGown about what would be best. I asked about getting 2 duets ($600 used from Agon) so I could have digital and analog gear on different circuits or getting a Quintet. Paul said nothing beats getting the digital and analog on different circuits, but he said the Quintet would be best due to slightly better filtering, antenna and DTV surge protection. So I went with the Quintet since it would do a little more at a better price ($475).
My wife saw me pull it out of the box and couldn't believe the size of this "power strip". It really is huge and heavy! I don't really think it did much for the DVD picture quality, but it does provide a blacker background for the audio. I highs seem slightly more extended as well. I haven't had it long enough to do much else with it and it hasn't made me a total believer in passive power conditioning, but I must admit there is something different.
So far I have the turntable, phono pre, DVD player, receiver, and DTV box plugged into it. Looking forward to getting my 2 channel tube pre this week.
