Second, \u003cstrong\u003esignal-line protection\u003c\/strong\u003e: every PST includes coaxial (cable\/satellite) and telephone surge inputs, because lightning that comes in through the cable line will fry a TV just as effectively as lightning that comes through the wall. \u003cem\u003eIn our experience, a good power conditioner or low-noise power supply will almost always noticeably improve the sound of any high-end audio system\u003c\/em\u003e, and the same engineering principles that make Furman’s higher-end conditioners audible also drive the design of their power strips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Makes the PST-8 the Right Pick\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PST-8 is where the \u003cstrong\u003efull Powell-engineered technology stack\u003c\/strong\u003e arrives in the PST line. The PST 2+6 and PST-6 use a fused-MOV-plus-RFI-filter circuit that’s better than a commodity surge strip but is genuinely entry-level. The PST-8 is fundamentally a different product:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNon-sacrificial SMP surge protection.\u003c\/strong\u003e Same circuit topology as the Furman Elite series of power conditioners. Most surge protectors — including the PST 2+6 and PST-6 in this same family — use MOVs that absorb a hit and degrade in the process. SMP is engineered to clamp surges \u003cem\u003ewithout sacrificing itself\u003c\/em\u003e, so the PST-8 keeps protecting through repeated large events rather than silently failing on the first one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLiFT (Linear Filtering Technology).\u003c\/strong\u003e A linear low-pass filter tuned to attenuate AC line noise smoothly across a wide frequency range — greater than 40 dB from 150 kHz to 100 MHz, and greater than 80 dB across 100 kHz to 1 GHz. That’s a substantial step up from the PST-6’s basic RFI\/EMI filter, and it’s the part you can actually hear on a high-resolution audio system: cleaner backgrounds, more low-level detail.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEVS (Extreme Voltage Shutdown).\u003c\/strong\u003e A circuit that monitors the incoming AC line and cuts power to all eight outlets if the voltage drifts above approximately 135 to 137 volts. Sustained over-voltage events — utility transformer faults, miswired generators, certain solar-grid-tie scenarios — cause more cumulative damage to audio gear than surges do, and EVS is specifically designed to stop them. The PST-6 and PST 2+6 don’t have this; the PST-8 does.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe chassis is aluminum, captured in the same general form factor as the PST-6 but stretched to fit eight outlets. The 8-foot captive cord with the 36-degree angled NEMA plug carries through from the entry tier. If you want full Furman protection engineering — same surge-clamping and noise-filtering technology used in the Elite series — in a power-strip form factor at a fraction of the price of an Elite-15i, the PST-8 is the answer. The only step-up from here within the PST family is the PST-8D, which adds isolated outlet banks for systems with both digital and analog gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- POWELL LINEAGE --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne footnote worth mentioning: the engineer who developed Furman’s SMP, LiFT, and broader power-product circuit design is Garth Powell. Powell spent years refining Furman’s AC products before moving on to lead power-product engineering at AudioQuest, where his work on the Niagara line carries forward many of the same design principles. When you buy a Furman from this era, you’re buying into that engineering lineage — even at the entry level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- THE TECHNOLOGY INSIDE --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Technology Inside the PST-8\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSeries Multi-Stage Protection (SMP) — Non-Sacrificial Surge Protection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the centerpiece of the PST-8 and PST-8D. Most power strips and surge protectors rely on MOVs that physically sacrifice themselves when they absorb a large spike — after one big surge, the protection is used up even though the indicator light still glows. \u003cstrong\u003eFurman’s SMP circuit is non-sacrificial\u003c\/strong\u003e: it clamps surges without destroying itself, so one PST keeps protecting after hit after hit. SMP is the same surge-protection technology Furman uses in its higher-end Elite series of power conditioners, packaged here in a power-strip form factor at a fraction of the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLinear Filtering Technology (LiFT) — Noise Reduction Without Choking Dynamics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost “filtered” surge strips use simple non-linear filters that produce a narrow notch-and-ring response — they reduce some noise, but they also introduce resonant peaking that can actually \u003cem\u003eadd\u003c\/em\u003e noise in places. Furman’s \u003cstrong\u003eLiFT\u003c\/strong\u003e circuit is a linear low-pass filter engineered to attenuate AC line noise smoothly across a wide frequency band: greater than 40 dB from 150 kHz to 100 MHz, and greater than 80 dB across the 100 kHz to 1 GHz range. In practical terms: cleaner AC, no resonant peaking, no current limiting that would squeeze your amplifier’s dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eExtreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) — Protection from Sustained Over-Voltage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEVS\u003c\/strong\u003e monitors the incoming line and cuts power to everything downstream if the voltage drifts above approximately 135 to 137 volts — the threshold where a sustained over-voltage condition (utility transformer fault, miswired generator, neighbor pulling power on a shared circuit) starts to cause cumulative damage to gear. Brownouts and sustained over-voltage events damage more audio equipment than surges do, and EVS is specifically designed to stop them before your amp’s power supply ever sees them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eZero Ground Contamination\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOlder surge-protection designs shunt surge energy to circuit ground, which sounds reasonable until you realize that your DAC, streamer, and other digital sources all reference signal to that same ground. Garbage on the ground rail shows up in the listening chair as hum, hash, and a slightly elevated noise floor. Furman’s circuit design deliberately avoids this — surges are clamped without dumping anything to ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- BUILD QUALITY --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuild Quality and the Metal Chassis\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing that sets the PST-6, PST-8, and PST-8D apart from most surge protectors in their price range: the chassis is \u003cstrong\u003ealuminum\u003c\/strong\u003e, not plastic. Walk into any office-supply store and you’ll find a wall of plastic-cased surge strips — flimsy, cheap to mold, prone to creaking when an outlet fits tightly, and offering essentially zero EMI shielding. Furman’s metal chassis brings real benefits: structural rigidity that doesn’t deform under power-cord pull, vibration damping for the internal components, and a continuous metallic enclosure that contributes to RF shielding for the protection and filtering circuitry inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe captive 8-foot power cord is also a step above commodity practice — heavier-gauge wire than the typical 16-AWG cord on a $25 strip, with a 36-degree NEMA 5-15 plug (angled away from the wall to make installation cleaner behind furniture). Small things, but the kind of thing you notice when you’re routing a permanent install.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- FAQ --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is this different from a $25 surge strip from an office store?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree meaningful ways. (1) \u003cstrong\u003eSurge protection that actually keeps working.\u003c\/strong\u003e Generic strips use sacrificial MOVs that silently degrade after large hits — your indicator light says “protected” while the protection has actually failed. Furman uses non-sacrificial SMP on the PST-8, designed to keep protecting after repeated hits. (2) \u003cstrong\u003eRFI\/EMI filtering.\u003c\/strong\u003e Generic strips do nothing about the noise riding on your AC line; the PST series filters that noise across the audio-sensitive frequency range. (3) \u003cstrong\u003eZero ground contamination.\u003c\/strong\u003e Generic strips shunt surge energy to ground, which can actually \u003cem\u003eadd\u003c\/em\u003e noise to your digital sources. Furman’s design avoids that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich PST should I buy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuick guide: \u003cstrong\u003ePST 2+6\u003c\/strong\u003e if you want Furman protection in the most affordable form factor and you value the audible surge alarm and diagnostic LEDs (plastic chassis, 8 outlets including 2-3 spaced for wall-warts). \u003cstrong\u003ePST-6\u003c\/strong\u003e if you want a metal-chassis Furman in a 6-outlet configuration with the same entry-tier protection circuit. \u003cstrong\u003ePST-8\u003c\/strong\u003e if you want the full SMP \/ LiFT \/ EVS technology stack — same protection found in the Elite series, in a power-strip form factor with 8 outlets in one bank. \u003cstrong\u003ePST-8D\u003c\/strong\u003e if you have a system with both digital gear (TV, streamer, AVR) and analog gear (turntable, integrated amp) and you want the two banks isolated from each other to keep digital noise out of the analog chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this limit my amplifier’s current?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the audio gear most people plug into a Furman power strip — receivers, integrated amps, source components, displays — no. The 15-amp current rating across all outlets is plenty of headroom for typical home systems. Where you’d run into trouble is plugging a pair of high-current monoblock power amplifiers into a Furman PST and expecting them to deliver full transient performance — that’s not what these are designed for, and you’d want a higher-end conditioner with a Power Factor Technology bank (the Furman Elite-15 PFi or Elite-20 PFi) for that application. For everything else, the PST series is correctly sized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy are the cable and phone connectors on this thing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLightning that comes in through your coax cable line or telephone line will fry a TV or modem just as effectively as lightning that comes through the wall outlet. The PST series includes \u003cstrong\u003esignal-line surge suppression\u003c\/strong\u003e for one cable\/satellite coax connection and one telephone line — pass-through connectors that surge-protect those signals before they reach your gear. If you don’t have cable TV or a landline, you can simply ignore those connectors. If you do, they’re a useful inclusion that most generic surge strips lack entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat’s the warranty?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurman backs the PST series with a 1-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.

Powerful and smooth, the all-new Alpha Series has been rebuilt with enhanced custom drivers and a new crossover design that works perfectly together to deliver natural, detailed sound with precision and less distortion. In a home theatre or stereo setup, the new Alphas outperform the originals in every measurement and will bring your music and movies to life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PSB","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ New","offer_id":45980517040301,"sku":"NEW-PBAC10-BLK","price":499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/3708\/1773\/files\/PBAC10_3_WAL-Large__57949.1729010027.1280.1280.jpg?v=1778101950"},{"product_id":"audioquest-rocket-33-speaker-cable-no-frills-1","title":"AudioQuest Rocket 33 Speaker Cable No Frills","description":"15 Foot - Pair - Bi- Wire - Pins to Bananas","brand":"AudioQuest","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45980517269677,"sku":"KT-AQRO33NF-15PIPNBN","price":474.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"vpi-scout-21-turntable-black-no-cartridge","title":"VPI Scout 21 Turntable - Black - No Cartridge","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"max-width:720px;margin:0 auto;padding:32px 24px 48px 24px;background:#ffffff;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:0 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eA Hand-Built, High-Mass Turntable Ready for the Cartridge You Choose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eThe VPI Scout 21 is a belt-drive turntable hand-built in New Jersey, evolving VPI's long-running Scout lineage with an updated 300-rpm motor housing and revised isolation feet.

Measure the path the cable will really take, around furniture and along the baseboard. Then add a little slack. As Cardas puts it, \"A cable that's just long enough usually turns out to be just not long enough.\" Keep the left and right runs the same length, as Cardas recommends, even when one speaker sits closer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eFinish Each End With a Connector\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eBulk cable arrives as bare wire.
