in The Clubhouse
I made an offer on a Furman IT Reference 20 Discrete Symmetrial Power unit in what looks to be in amazing shape. Reviews online might be great but nothing like hearing from members here their thoughts and opinions. Im my 2 channel rig I have the AQ Niagra 1200 and while looking for possibly doing another one of those I stubled on a couple other pieces. One that looked dangerous to touch and this one caught me eye adn the asking was so decent my offer was the asking and asked seller if they would include a decent power cable or sell me one at a reasonable price. It's not a done deal so if someone here thinks to keep looking, please speak to me. Thanks appreciate all that have helped me out in the Power Conditioner trip!

    Congrats to you on landing a real beast of a pc. I've had a Ref20i for several years now and I really like it. The stock 20amp cord that Furman supplies with it is also very good. I swapped mine out for a Shunyata cord and really didn't notice any change. One big improvement that it does make is somehow it reduces emi noise on the entire 120 leg that it's plugged into. An even further reduction of emi is achieved when gear is plugged into it. Yes these 87lb monsters work and work quite well imo.

    Seller is accepting my offer but I have to meet him half way to Grand Rapids Mi because he’s dealt with fed ex damaging gear he’s sold on the GON ! Road Trip in the next few days!!

    Luckily my seller still had the original box which also is a beast to hold the beast and mine arrived unscathed from a few states away. No doubt driving out to get all 87lbs of it is the wise thing to do. Fedex somehow managed to destroy a glass faceplate on a tuner I had bought which was a little over an hour's drive from me.

    Enjoy! Road-trips for gear is fun, just sucks for gas prices lol. Take the best MPG car you got lol.

    Crank the tunes and enjoy the boring flat Midwest lol

    Not this week but the following week wife and I are going to pick the beast up! Spoke with the seller and nothing but a great review coming from the original owner! Smoke free home, not used a lot and in pristine condition! Quite the step up from my Niagara 1200 that’s going to be moving to my living room system so the Furman can take its place! What a great score ! Thanks for the wisdom only to be found right here amongst my brothers! edn4bwtyzr14.jpeg
