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.

Smart bass management coordinates the output between the sub and your main speakers so they work together cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Play have preamp outputs for a separate power amplifier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — there are no analog preamp outputs. The speaker terminals are the only way to connect passive speakers. If you want to drive a separate power amplifier from the Play's signal, you can use the digital outputs (USB or coaxial) into an external DAC with preamp outputs. If you need a proper preamp out, the DMP-A6 Gen 2 or DMP-A8 are the right models. Call us at 800-942-0220 and we'll help you think through your options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Play have an internal SSD slot for music storage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — unlike the DMP series streamers, the Play has no internal M.2 SSD slot. For local music storage, connect an external USB 3.0 hard drive or SSD to either USB 3.0 port. The Play sees it immediately and can browse and play from it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Play Roon Ready?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — officially Roon Ready. Set it up as a Roon endpoint and control playback from Roon on any tablet or laptop. It also supports Tidal Connect, Qobuz Connect, and Spotify Connect for streaming direct to the unit without Roon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is the Play different from the EverSolo DMP-A6 Gen 2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey serve different needs. The DMP-A6 Gen 2 ($859) is a streaming DAC with no built-in amplifier — it connects to a separate amp. The Play ($699) is an all-in-one with a built-in 60W amp, phono stage, and subwoofer output. The Gen 2 has XLR balanced outputs, an internal SSD slot, and a more audiophile-focused output stage. The Play is the simpler, more complete single-box solution. Call us to talk through which fits your system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat speakers work best with the Play?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Play works best with bookshelf speakers, standmounts, and sensitive floorstanders in small to medium-sized rooms. It delivers 60W at 8Ω and 110W at 4Ω — enough for most home listening. Very inefficient or demanding speakers in large rooms may need more power. Call us at 800-942-0220 and we can suggest speaker pairings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs there also a CD Edition?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the Play CD Edition ($799) adds a built-in CD-ROM drive. This lets you play CDs directly, and rip them to an attached USB drive. The standard Play ($699, this listing) does not include the CD drive but is otherwise identical. See the CD Edition listing separately on our site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does room correction work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Play runs an automated sweep and analyzes the response through a compatible measurement microphone (not included — check EverSolo's compatibility list). It then generates FIR correction filters and applies them in DSP. The correction takes a few minutes and measurably improves frequency accuracy for your specific room and speaker placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Audio Advisor?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ec-titlebox-text\"\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.
