But seriously, dealers & installers whether that be home, professional or trade shows should take note.

The upcoming McIntosh Blue event at the USA Grand Prix would certainly benefit from power treatment given how power would be run into their marque.

Steven.......No kidding. If I were in charge of setting up a McIntosh demo room I would insist on the Flux 50's being installed on the MPC1500's they like to use at shows. The Flux 50 would be one of those secret ingredients to take the performance level up a few notches.

Dan... You may want one of these for your Mac Mini or CATV/SAT STB.

One Power Plant Premier provides regenerated AC to the two MC601 power amps. The other Power Plant Premier powers the C2300 preamp, Esoteric K-03, Olive 04HD server, MS750 server, and an MR85
I'm trying to wrap my head around how effective the filter is. How about running the amps directly to the wall bypassing the PPP but using the two Flux 50?

This is really interesting. Usually projectors behave like amps, ie. They need lots of unrestricted power. But the Flux 50 is reportedly good on amps...

Ivan do you have a Sim2 DLP projector by any chance?

Hi Ivan

So why don't they?

To me this makes no sense to have a whole set of add ons to your expensive PC's and make the back of your equipment rack even more crowded.

Why can't Furutech just make a PC with the Flux-50 as part of the PC?

Could you ask?

cheers

I agree, but as they came after, I would not want to change my existing PC for the additional cost. So I would want to see them offer both options.

Furutech Flux range has been out for awhile now. Approx 3 years. They have been adding something to the range every year since. You never know what's around the corner.

They have two other inline filter models which are more affordable. The Flow-15 & Flow-28. The Flow-28 has much of what the Flux-50 has. None of the models interfere with current draw according to Furutech.
