Plug your gear in, hope you don’t get a lightning strike, replace it every few years when the indicator light goes out. For a desk lamp and a phone charger, that’s plenty. For a $1,500 receiver, a 4K display, a streaming box, and a turntable, it really isn’t.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe PST series is what happens when a company that’s been engineering AC power products for broadcast studios and live-sound rigs since 1974 decides to make a power strip. The technology stack varies by model — the PST-8 and PST-8D bring the full Powell-engineered SMP \/ LiFT \/ EVS protection found in Furman’s higher-end Elite line, while the PST-6 and PST 2+6 use a simpler but still genuinely upgraded MOV-based circuit with RFI\/EMI filtering. Either way, you’re getting better engineering than the commodity surge strip the buyer was likely replacing, in a form factor that fits the same cable run behind the same equipment rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things every PST shares. First, \u003cstrong\u003ezero ground contamination\u003c\/strong\u003e: a Furman-specific circuit choice that does not shunt surge energy onto your circuit ground (the way most MOV-based strips do), so your DAC, streamer, and other digital gear don’t have garbage on their ground reference. 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.

AC coming into your home carries noise from motors, LED drivers, switching power supplies, wireless routers, HVAC systems, appliance compressors, and every neighbor sharing your utility transformer. That noise rides the power line into your gear, where it masks low-level detail, softens transients, and adds a faint haze to the midrange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurman has built AC-power products for professional audio, video, and broadcast use since 1974. The \u003cstrong\u003eElite\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eReference\u003c\/strong\u003e series you're looking at are Furman's home-theater and audiophile lines — the same engineering discipline found in studios and live-sound rigs, packaged for a rack at home. \u003cem\u003eIn our experience, a good power conditioner will almost always noticeably improve the sound of any high-end audio system.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes the IT-Reference 20i unique\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is Furman's \u003cstrong\u003eflagship\u003c\/strong\u003e home-theater and audiophile power conditioner. Three numbers tell the story of why it exists:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e83 pounds.\u003c\/strong\u003e The IT-Reference 20i weighs nearly twice what the 15-amp IT-Reference weighs. Almost all of that is the custom dual-screen 1:1 isolation transformer, which is built to handle full 20-amp continuous service without saturating and has a dramatically larger, more heavily shielded core than the 15A version's transformer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8 balanced outlets.\u003c\/strong\u003e Where the IT-Reference 15i has 2 balanced outlets (reserved for sensitive video components) and 5 separately filtered outlets for everything else, the 20i runs \u003cem\u003eeight\u003c\/em\u003e outlets directly off its symmetrical balanced secondary. In practice, every non-amplifier component in your system is fed by the isolation transformer — not just your video gear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e80+ amps of peak PFT charge, 9 amps RMS reserve.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Power Factor Technology bank on the 20i carries roughly twice the RMS reserve and 45% more peak charge current than the PFT bank on the 15i or Elite-20 PFi. The four amplifier outlets can feed a pair of mono power amps and a large powered subwoofer without compressing dynamics, because the PFT reservoir fills in the instantaneous current demand faster than the wall can.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiFT filtering bandwidth widens again on the 20i — differential-mode attenuation starts as low as 1 kHz, with greater than 95 dB common-mode rejection on the balanced outlets. This is the cleanest AC Furman builds for a home system. SMP non-sacrificial surge protection, EVS over\/under voltage shutdown, and zero-ground-contamination circuitry all carry forward from the rest of the line — the IT-Reference 20i is Furman's complete Powell-era technology stack, scaled up to reference-system current requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo practical notes before you buy. First, the IT-Reference 20i requires a \u003cstrong\u003ededicated 20-amp wall circuit\u003c\/strong\u003e with a NEMA 5-20R outlet. If your audio room is still on a 15A run, you'll want an electrician to pull a dedicated 20A line before the Furman arrives. Second, at 83 pounds and 3U tall, this is not a conditioner you move often. Plan for an equipment rack or a heavy-duty shelf that can take the weight and leave airflow clearance. Backed by Furman's 5-year Reference-series warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- ============ THE POWELL LINEAGE ============ --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne footnote worth mentioning: the engineer who developed Furman's SMP, LiFT, and Power Factor Technology circuits is Garth Powell. Powell spent years refining Furman's AC designs 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 you see in the Elite and Reference conditioners. When you buy a Furman from this era, you're buying into that engineering lineage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- ============ THE TECHNOLOGY INSIDE ============ --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe technology inside the IT-Reference 20i\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSeries Multi-Stage Protection (SMP) — non-sacrificial surge protection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost power strips and surge protectors rely on MOVs (metal-oxide varistors) that physically sacrifice themselves when they absorb a large spike. After a big surge, you don't know the protection is gone until your next spike takes your gear with it. \u003cstrong\u003eFurman's SMP circuit is non-sacrificial\u003c\/strong\u003e — it clamps surges without destroying itself, which means one unit keeps protecting after hit after hit. SMP also avoids sending voltage to circuit ground, a common MOV side effect that can actively damage digital components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLinear Filtering Technology (LiFT) with flagship bandwidth — noise reduction without choking dynamics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurman'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. On the IT-Reference 20i, the LiFT implementation reaches its widest bandwidth in the Furman line — transverse-mode attenuation starts as low as 1 kHz, with common-mode rejection exceeding 95 dB across the 10 Hz to 50 kHz range on the balanced outlets. This is the cleanest AC Furman builds for a home system, and it's delivered without the current-limiting that some \"filtered\" outlets impose on power amplifiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExtreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) — protection from sustained over- and under-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 outside a safe window — too low (below about 85V) or too high (above about 140V). Brownouts and sustained overvoltage events cause more damage to audio gear than most surges do, and EVS is specifically designed to stop them before your amplifier's power supply ever sees them.\u003c\/p\u003e\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 preamp, DAC, and digital sources all reference signal to that same ground. \"Contaminated\" ground shows up as hum, noise, and digital hash in the listening chair. Furman's design deliberately avoids this — spikes are clamped without dumping anything to ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePower Factor Technology (PFT) — current reservoir for amplifier peaks\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClass A\/B amplifiers draw current in huge momentary spikes on musical transients — a kick drum, a cymbal crash, a bass note. If the wall and the conditioner can't deliver that current fast enough, the amp's power supply sags, dynamics compress, and bass loses punch. \u003cstrong\u003ePower Factor Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e places a large energy reservoir upstream of the amplifier outlets that provides surplus instantaneous current on demand, while simultaneously lowering the AC input impedance seen by the amp. The amplifier \"sees\" a much stiffer power source than your wall provides on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDiscrete Symmetrical Power with Dual-Screen Isolation Transformer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the feature that separates the Reference series from everything below it. A \u003cstrong\u003e1:1 isolation transformer\u003c\/strong\u003e sits between your wall outlet and your audio system, magnetically transferring AC from primary to secondary with no direct electrical connection. A precisely placed center tap on the secondary winding produces \u003cstrong\u003esymmetrical (balanced) AC\u003c\/strong\u003e: two 60V legs, 180° out of phase, referenced to ground. Noise that appears equally on both legs — the dominant form of AC line noise in most homes — is cancelled by common-mode rejection inside the transformer and at each component's power supply. Furman's dual-screen transformer design extends this cancellation across a wider bandwidth than single-screen isolation transformers can reach, and the balanced secondary positively breaks noise-inducing ground loops between interconnected components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- ============ OUTLETS \u0026 FEATURES ============ --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOutlets and features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOutlet configuration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 Discrete Symmetrically Balanced outlets, fed by the 1:1 dual-screen isolation transformer — intended for video components, front-end sources, and processors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Power Factor Technology amplifier outlets with 9 amps RMS reserve and over 80 amps peak charge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal 12 outlets across isolated banks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequires a dedicated 20-amp wall circuit (NEMA 5-20R outlet) and matching 20A power cord.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFront-panel controls and displays\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower switch only — Reference-series front panel is deliberately minimal.

Modern AC power is noisier than it has ever been, and that noise ends up in your listening chair as reduced detail and a flatter soundstage. The longer answer is in the \"Why Furman\" section above — the engineering case for AC conditioning is straightforward once you understand what's riding on the line. \u003cem\u003eIn our experience, a good power conditioner will almost always noticeably improve the sound of any high-end audio system.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill a conditioner limit the current my amplifier needs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can, if the conditioner is badly designed. Cheap \"filtered\" power strips use series chokes that do restrict current — which is why audiophiles rightly worry about plugging big amps into them. Furman's LiFT filter is engineered specifically to avoid that trade-off, and the PFi and IT-Reference models go further by adding a dedicated high-current amplifier bank with Power Factor Technology that actively supplies surplus current on musical peaks. In practice, a well-designed Furman improves amp dynamics rather than limiting them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Power Factor Technology actually doing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour power amplifier draws current in large instantaneous bursts on musical transients — not a steady draw. Wall wiring has real impedance, and when the amp calls for 30+ amps in a millisecond, the wall simply can't deliver that fast. Power Factor Technology places a large energy reservoir upstream of the amplifier outlets, sized specifically to fill in those instantaneous peaks. The amp \"sees\" a far stiffer power source than the wall provides on its own. The audible result is tighter bass, faster transients, and less dynamic compression on loud passages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy an isolation transformer, instead of just a filter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA filter attenuates noise but still leaves your gear electrically connected to the wall. An isolation transformer \u003cem\u003ephysically\u003c\/em\u003e separates the input from the output — AC is induced magnetically from the primary winding to the secondary, so your audio system never sees the wall directly. Common-mode noise on the incoming line is largely rejected before it reaches a single component, and ground-borne noise shared with the rest of your house is broken. It's the most aggressive form of AC cleanup in a home system, and it is the reason the IT-Reference series exists as a separate line above the Elite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat happens to the Furman after a big surge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrdinary surge protectors sacrifice their MOVs on a major hit — after one significant event, the protection is used up even though the unit looks fine and the power LED still glows. Furman's SMP circuit is non-sacrificial; it clamps surges without destroying itself and keeps protecting afterward. Multiple large hits do not void the protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich outlets should I use for what?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn an IT-Reference conditioner, the Discrete Symmetrically Balanced outlets are tuned for sensitive video and source components — plug displays, projectors, DACs, preamps, and processors there. The Power Factor Technology outlets are specifically for your amplifier(s) and powered subwoofer(s); those are the components that demand high instantaneous current. On the 15i model, the middle linearly filtered bank is fine for anything that doesn't fall into the above two categories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat power cord should I use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour wall-to-conditioner power cord is the only one that sees raw, unconditioned mains — so this is where a better cable has the biggest audible impact. A high-quality shielded cord rated for the conditioner's input current (15A or 20A depending on model) is a sensible pairing. The captive cord on the Furman is fine out of the box, but aftermarket cords from AudioQuest, Shunyata, or similar can make a meaningful difference once the conditioner is broken in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the warranty?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurman backs the Reference series with a 5-year limited warranty — two years longer than the Elite line, reflecting the heavier build and the flagship status of these models.

Plug your gear in, hope you don’t get a lightning strike, replace it every few years when the indicator light goes out. For a desk lamp and a phone charger, that’s plenty. For a $1,500 receiver, a 4K display, a streaming box, and a turntable, it really isn’t.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe PST series is what happens when a company that’s been engineering AC power products for broadcast studios and live-sound rigs since 1974 decides to make a power strip. The technology stack varies by model — the PST-8 and PST-8D bring the full Powell-engineered SMP \/ LiFT \/ EVS protection found in Furman’s higher-end Elite line, while the PST-6 and PST 2+6 use a simpler but still genuinely upgraded MOV-based circuit with RFI\/EMI filtering. Either way, you’re getting better engineering than the commodity surge strip the buyer was likely replacing, in a form factor that fits the same cable run behind the same equipment rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things every PST shares. First, \u003cstrong\u003ezero ground contamination\u003c\/strong\u003e: a Furman-specific circuit choice that does not shunt surge energy onto your circuit ground (the way most MOV-based strips do), so your DAC, streamer, and other digital gear don’t have garbage on their ground reference. 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 2+6 the Right Pick\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PST 2+6 is positioned as \u003cstrong\u003eFurman’s most affordable entry point\u003c\/strong\u003e — designed for someone who wants real Furman protection engineering on a TV\/streamer\/receiver setup, a desktop computer, or a home-office workstation, without stepping up to the price of a metal-chassis model. Three things that make it the right choice for that buyer:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront-panel diagnostics.\u003c\/strong\u003e Two indicator LEDs on the chassis — one labeled “Protection OK” (the surge circuit is healthy) and one labeled “Ground” (your wall outlet is wired correctly with a working earth ground). When one of those LEDs goes dark, you know there’s a problem and you can act on it. Most surge strips give you a single power LED that tells you nothing about whether protection is still intact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAudible surge alarm.\u003c\/strong\u003e Pair the LED diagnostics with a beeper that fires when a surge takes out the protection circuit. You’ll hear it the moment it happens, not next month when you finally notice the dark LED. Useful for protecting valuable gear in a workspace where the strip might be tucked behind a hutch and out of sight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe 2+6 outlet layout.\u003c\/strong\u003e The original “2+6” naming refers to the original split (2 wall-wart-spaced outlets + 6 standard). The current production unit is similar in concept — outlets spaced widely enough to accommodate the bulky wall-wart power supplies that come with audio gear, video doorbells, charging hubs, and similar devices, without those wall-warts blocking adjacent outlets. Most commodity strips force you to skip outlets when you have a few wall-warts; the PST 2+6 doesn’t.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe trade-off is the chassis. Where the PST-6, PST-8, and PST-8D step up to aluminum construction, the PST 2+6 uses plastic — same general approach as most surge strips in this price range. If structural rigidity and EMI shielding matter for your install, the metal-chassis models are the upgrade path. If you want the maximum Furman protection engineering for the lowest price, the PST 2+6 is the answer.\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 2+6\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFused MOV Surge Protection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PST series Tier-1 products use a \u003cstrong\u003efused metal-oxide-varistor (MOV) shunt circuit\u003c\/strong\u003e, Line-Neutral. When a surge hits the line, the MOV briefly clamps the over-voltage and shunts it through a fuse. The fuse is the smart part — most cheap surge strips have an MOV that simply degrades and silently fails after enough hits, leaving you “protected” by a dead component while the indicator light still glows green. Furman’s fused design gives a definite end-of-life signal: when the fuse blows, you know the protection is gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is genuinely better than a generic surge strip, but it’s worth being clear about what it is and isn’t. It’s not the non-sacrificial SMP circuit found in the Furman Elite series and the PST-8\/PST-8D — those are engineered to keep clamping after multiple large hits without sacrificing anything. The Tier-1 PST series is fused-MOV protection done right, paired with the rest of Furman’s circuit design philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRFI \/ EMI Noise Filtering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the surge protection, every PST includes a \u003cstrong\u003epassive RFI\/EMI filter\u003c\/strong\u003e tuned to attenuate AC line noise more than 40 dB across the 150 kHz to 100 MHz band — the frequency range where most of the contamination from switch-mode wall-warts, LED drivers, and household electronics actually lives. That filter is what separates “Furman-quality protection” from a $25 commodity surge strip, and it’s the part you actually hear on a high-resolution audio system.\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 Form Factor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PST 2+6 uses a plastic chassis — the same general construction approach as most surge strips in this price range. That keeps the cost down, which is the point at this tier of the line. (The metal-chassis PST-6, PST-8, and PST-8D step up to aluminum construction at a corresponding step-up in price; if structural rigidity and EMI shielding matter for your install, those models are worth the look.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you do get on the PST 2+6 that you don’t get on the PST-6 is \u003cstrong\u003ereal-time diagnostics\u003c\/strong\u003e: front-panel “Protection OK” and “Ground” indicator LEDs let you see at a glance that the surge circuit is healthy and that your wall outlet is wired correctly. There’s also an \u003cstrong\u003eaudible surge alarm\u003c\/strong\u003e — if a hit takes out the protection circuit, you’ll hear about it immediately rather than discovering it on the next big surge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe captive 8-foot power cord matches what you’d find on the metal-chassis models. It’s a longer cord than most commodity surge strips, which is genuinely useful when the strip needs to reach across a room or down behind a hutch.\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 fused MOVs on the PST 2+6, designed to fail in a way you can detect — plus an audible alarm and diagnostic LEDs. (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.

The Elite-15 DMi lowers electrical noise, keeps digital noise away from your analog components, and shields everything from surges. The payoff is a quieter background and better-protected equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat do the “dual meters” show me?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two front-panel meters show your incoming line voltage and the amount of current your system is pulling. They are dimmable, so you can turn them down for movie night. It is a handy way to keep an eye on your power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need anything else to use it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo extra box is needed. You plug it into a 15-amp wall outlet and plug your gear into it. It even includes a removable module to protect your coaxial and telephone lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the switched and unswitched outlets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome outlets can be turned on and off with a 12-volt trigger, so they power up with the rest of your system. Others stay on all the time, which is handy for gear you want running even when the system is “off.” Give us a call if you would like help planning which gear goes where.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is the Elite-15 DMi different from the Furman Reference models, like the IT-Reference 15i?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Elite-15 DMi brings many Furman technologies (LiFT filtering, SMP, and EVS) to a friendly price, and it is ideal for small to medium systems. The Reference models, like the IT-Reference 15i, step up with an isolation transformer, Discrete Symmetrical Power for video, and a larger current reserve for big amps. If you are not sure which fits your system, give us a call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it change the way my system sounds?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA power conditioner does not add its own sound. What it does is lower noise and protect your gear, which lets your components do their best work. The result is usually a quieter background, so you hear more of the music and see a cleaner picture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ec-titlebox-text\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Audio Advisor?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/1f3b5.svg\" alt=\"music note emoji\" width=\"20\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e40+ Years of Expertise\u003c\/strong\u003e — Since 1981, we’ve helped over a million music lovers find the right gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/1f504.svg\" alt=\"repeat emoji\" width=\"20\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e60-Day Money-Back Guarantee\u003c\/strong\u003e — Take your time.

AC coming into your home carries noise from motors, LED drivers, switching power supplies, wireless routers, HVAC systems, appliance compressors, and every neighbor sharing your utility transformer. That noise rides the power line into your gear, where it masks low-level detail, softens transients, and adds a faint haze to the midrange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurman has built AC-power products for professional audio, video, and broadcast use since 1974. The \u003cstrong\u003eElite\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eReference\u003c\/strong\u003e series you're looking at are Furman's home-theater and audiophile lines — the same engineering discipline found in studios and live-sound rigs, packaged for a rack at home. \u003cem\u003eIn our experience, a good power conditioner will almost always noticeably improve the sound of any high-end audio system.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes the Elite-20 PFi unique\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Elite-20 PFi is the \u003cstrong\u003etop of the Elite line\u003c\/strong\u003e, and three specifications explain the step up from the Elite-15 PFi:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull 20-amp service.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Elite-20 PFi is designed to be fed from a dedicated 20-amp wall circuit (NEMA 5-20R outlet and matching power cord). Reference systems with multiple high-current amplifiers, big powered subwoofers, and a stack of front-end components can easily exceed 15A on peaks; the Elite-20 PFi accommodates that without tripping breakers or running close to its current ceiling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBigger Power Factor Technology reserve.\u003c\/strong\u003e The four amplifier outlets are fed by a PFT reservoir with roughly 4.5 amps RMS reserve and over 55 amps of peak charge — up from ~3 amps and 45 amps on the 15A version. More headroom when your amp calls for a huge transient.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWider-bandwidth ultra-linear filtering.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Elite-20 PFi's LiFT implementation starts its differential-mode attenuation curve at about 5 kHz, versus 10 kHz on the Elite-15 series — meaning it is cleaning more of the audio-band-adjacent RF and EMI that can muddy a high-resolution system. Every outlet benefits, not just the amp bank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou also get two retractable front-panel LED work lights, a front-panel outlet, and the same SMP \/ EVS \/ zero-ground-contamination protection as every other model in the line. There are no meters — if you want metering plus PFT plus 20A service, you have to step up into the Reference series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottom line: the Elite-20 PFi is for a reference two-channel or home-theater system whose owner wants Furman's top filtration and current-reservoir capability without crossing into isolation-transformer territory. If your dedicated circuit is already a 20A run, this is the Elite model to buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- ============ THE POWELL LINEAGE ============ --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne footnote worth mentioning: the engineer who developed Furman's SMP, LiFT, and Power Factor Technology circuits is Garth Powell. Powell spent years refining Furman's AC designs 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 you see in the Elite and Reference conditioners. When you buy a Furman from this era, you're buying into that engineering lineage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- ============ THE TECHNOLOGY INSIDE ============ --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe technology inside the Elite-20 PFi\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSeries Multi-Stage Protection (SMP) — non-sacrificial surge protection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost power strips and surge protectors rely on MOVs (metal-oxide varistors) that physically sacrifice themselves when they absorb a large spike. After a big surge, you don't know the protection is gone until your next spike takes your gear with it. \u003cstrong\u003eFurman's SMP circuit is non-sacrificial\u003c\/strong\u003e — it clamps surges without destroying itself, which means one unit keeps protecting after hit after hit. SMP also avoids sending voltage to circuit ground, a common MOV side effect that can actively damage digital components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLinear Filtering Technology (LiFT) with wider bandwidth — noise reduction without choking dynamics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurman'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, instead of the narrow notch-and-ring curve that typical filter circuits produce. On the Elite-20 PFi, the LiFT implementation starts its differential-mode attenuation curve around 5 kHz — extending the filtering deeper into the audio-adjacent RF range than the 15-amp Elite models. You get cleaner AC without the current-limiting that some \"filtered\" outlets impose on power amplifiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExtreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) — protection from sustained over- and under-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 outside a safe window — too low (below about 85V) or too high (above about 140V). Brownouts and sustained overvoltage events cause more damage to audio gear than most surges do, and EVS is specifically designed to stop them before your amplifier's power supply ever sees them.\u003c\/p\u003e\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 preamp, DAC, and digital sources all reference signal to that same ground. \"Contaminated\" ground shows up as hum, noise, and digital hash in the listening chair.

Modern AC power is noisier than it has ever been, and that noise ends up in your listening chair as reduced detail and a flatter soundstage. The longer answer is in the \"Why Furman\" section above — the engineering case for AC conditioning is straightforward once you understand what's riding on the line. \u003cem\u003eIn our experience, a good power conditioner will almost always noticeably improve the sound of any high-end audio system.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill a conditioner limit the current my amplifier needs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can, if the conditioner is badly designed. Cheap \"filtered\" power strips use series chokes that do restrict current — which is why audiophiles rightly worry about plugging big amps into them. Furman's LiFT filter is engineered specifically to avoid that trade-off, and the PFi and IT-Reference models go further by adding a dedicated high-current amplifier bank with Power Factor Technology that actively supplies surplus current on musical peaks. In practice, a well-designed Furman improves amp dynamics rather than limiting them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Power Factor Technology actually doing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour power amplifier draws current in large instantaneous bursts on musical transients — not a steady draw. Wall wiring has real impedance, and when the amp calls for 30+ amps in a millisecond, the wall simply can't deliver that fast. Power Factor Technology places a large energy reservoir upstream of the amplifier outlets, sized specifically to fill in those instantaneous peaks. The amp \"sees\" a far stiffer power source than the wall provides on its own. The audible result is tighter bass, faster transients, and less dynamic compression on loud passages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat happens to the Furman after a big surge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrdinary surge protectors sacrifice their MOVs on a major hit — after one significant event, the protection is used up even though the unit looks fine and the power LED still glows. Furman's SMP circuit is non-sacrificial; it clamps surges without destroying itself and keeps protecting afterward. Multiple large hits do not void the protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich outlets should I use for what?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlug your power amplifier(s) and any powered subwoofer into the four Power Factor Technology outlets — those are the high-current bank with the energy reservoir behind them. The linearly filtered outlets with ultrasonic filtering are tuned for digital and video components (DAC, streamer, disc player, display). The standard linearly filtered outlets handle everything else — preamp, phono stage, tuner, and similar analog source gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat power cord should I use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour wall-to-conditioner power cord is the only one that sees raw, unconditioned mains — so this is where a better cable has the biggest audible impact. A high-quality shielded cord rated for the conditioner's input current (15A or 20A depending on model) is a sensible pairing. The captive cord on the Furman is fine out of the box, but aftermarket cords from AudioQuest, Shunyata, or similar can make a meaningful difference once the conditioner is broken in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the warranty?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurman backs the Elite series with a 3-year limited warranty.

The IT-Reference 15i lowers electrical noise, breaks ground-loop hum, keeps a big current reserve ready for your amps, and shields everything from surges. The payoff is a quieter background and better-protected equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich outlets should I use for what?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlug your TV, projector, or other video gear into the two symmetrical power outlets for the cleanest, ground-loop-free power. Use the Power Factor outlets for power amps and subwoofers, and the linearly filtered outlets for everything else.

You plug it into a 15-amp wall outlet and plug your gear into it. It even has surge-protected coaxial and telephone connections built in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it change the sound of my system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt does not add its own sound. As a Home Theater Shack reviewer put it, the IT-Reference 15i lowers the noise floor so you can hear what your equipment is truly capable of. A quieter background means more detail and dynamic range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is the IT-Reference 15i different from the IT-Reference 20i?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 15i is the 15-amp version, ideal for most home setups on a standard circuit. The 20i is the 20-amp version for the largest, most demanding systems.

Plug your gear in, hope you don’t get a lightning strike, replace it every few years when the indicator light goes out. For a desk lamp and a phone charger, that’s plenty. For a $1,500 receiver, a 4K display, a streaming box, and a turntable, it really isn’t.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe PST series is what happens when a company that’s been engineering AC power products for broadcast studios and live-sound rigs since 1974 decides to make a power strip. The technology stack varies by model — the PST-8 and PST-8D bring the full Powell-engineered SMP \/ LiFT \/ EVS protection found in Furman’s higher-end Elite line, while the PST-6 and PST 2+6 use a simpler but still genuinely upgraded MOV-based circuit with RFI\/EMI filtering. Either way, you’re getting better engineering than the commodity surge strip the buyer was likely replacing, in a form factor that fits the same cable run behind the same equipment rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things every PST shares. First, \u003cstrong\u003ezero ground contamination\u003c\/strong\u003e: a Furman-specific circuit choice that does not shunt surge energy onto your circuit ground (the way most MOV-based strips do), so your DAC, streamer, and other digital gear don’t have garbage on their ground reference. 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-8D the Right Pick\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PST-8D is the \u003cstrong\u003etop of the PST line\u003c\/strong\u003e. Everything the PST-8 has — non-sacrificial SMP surge protection, LiFT linear filtering, EVS extreme-voltage shutdown — plus one significant addition: the eight outlets are split into \u003cstrong\u003etwo isolated, separately filtered banks\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhy isolation matters in a mixed-gear system: digital components like flat-panel displays, AVRs, streamers, and disc players generate substantial high-frequency switching noise on their power-supply ground. When those components share a single filter bank with your turntable, integrated amp, or preamp, that digital noise can propagate backward through the strip’s shared ground and into the analog gear’s power input, where it shows up as a subtle haze in the listening chair. The PST-8D’s two-bank design \u003cstrong\u003ephysically isolates the two halves\u003c\/strong\u003e with separate filtering, so digital-side noise is confined to the digital side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe “D” in the name stands for “Digital” — referring to the bank-isolation feature, not to a separate digital filter. Both banks get the full LiFT linear filtering and SMP surge protection; the difference is that they get them \u003cem\u003eindependently\u003c\/em\u003e. In practice:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne bank\u003c\/strong\u003e for digital gear: TV, streamer, AVR or processor, Blu-ray or disc player, cable box, gaming console. The kind of equipment that runs switch-mode power supplies and generates RF hash on its ground rail.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe other bank\u003c\/strong\u003e for analog gear: turntable, integrated amp or power amp, preamp, phono stage, tuner. The kind of equipment that’s most sensitive to picking up that hash from neighboring components.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSame aluminum chassis as the PST-8, same 8-foot captive cord with angled NEMA plug, same SMP \/ LiFT \/ EVS protection circuit. The PST-8D is the right pick for systems where digital and analog gear coexist and you want the best chance of keeping them sonically separate. If your system is purely digital (a home theater rig with no turntable) or purely analog (a vintage stereo with no streamer), the PST-8 with its single filter bank is the simpler choice. If you have both, the PST-8D is the upgrade that the PST line offers.\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-8D\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\/PST-8D, designed to keep protecting after repeated hits.

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.

When connecting sensitive equipment to your home's power outlet, AC noise couples into your system's critical components. This AC noise masks low level signals and cripples performance. This low level content is critical because it relays the crucial harmonics and ambience in audio, as well as the depth and clarity in video. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eWith Furman's exclusive Linear Filtering Technology, televisions, projectors, DVD players, amplifiers, and processors are fed linearly-filtered AC power.

For the first time, you will see and hear your theater or audio system as it should be: uncompromised. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eTypical AC filters feature antiquated non-linear circuits. Though these multiple stage filters or power cleaners reduce some noise, they do so unevenly. In fact, they can add noise to your power line due to their filter's excessive resonant peaking. With Furman's proprietary Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT), AC noise is suppressed evenly, assuring maximum performance from your system. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch5\u003eSeries Multi-Stage Protection\u003c\/h5\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eToday's power grid commonly experiences numerous electrical surges and spikes on a daily basis.
