PS Audio UPC-200 PRICE: $300 shipped
Description:
This is a great little power conditioner. It is made for higher powered amps and subwoofers, but works well with digital/analog gear to. It has a selector switch on the bottom for high current use or for isolated zones. It has two modules inside each of which can output up to 20 amps of power. "When the 200 is placed in parallel mode, there isnt a power amplifier on the planet that can faze the UPC 200"
As a surge protector this thing is superior to most out there. It uses tranzorbers which are faster acting than MOVs and do not wear out over time. As a second line of defense for larger surges it uses large oversize MOVs. The entire surge protection board is removable in case of large surge.
Condition wise the unit looks great. There are a few tiny chinks in the armor, such as a pinhead size mark on the right side. See pics for details.
Terms:
This unit will be shipped double boxed. This comes with the unit and power cord. Accepting Paypal (add 1.5%), money order, or personal check. I will only sell to a buyer with verifiable good feedback. I have feedback here and on Audiogon. For sale in the US only.

I had one of these for a minute. It's a nice piece and has held its value better than just about any component I've come across.I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

What are the dimensions of the unit including the approximate additional space to plug things in? In other words, how much extra room would I need to have the PC's plug in and turned to the direction they are needed to go?
Plug in from top or side?~ In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence. ~ -
Reason I ask is the linky from PS Audio keeps timing out.~ In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence. ~

Zb, its a great unit, I got it to compare to my Duet and can't hear a difference between the two. Don't need the high power of the UPC-200 (30wpc amp) so off it goes.
Weird...not sure if caches work but try these links:
Linky 1
Linky 2
Dimensions are 8.5w x 8.5d x 3h
As for space, not sure how thick your cords are so hard to tell. I would add an extra 3in or so to factor in plugs.
Pics (will snap better ones when I get some good sunlight to show all flaws):

Damnit! All links to this are timing out. Even Google. Let me get back to it in about an hour or so. I'm interested, but I don't know if it will fit in the space I have available or how many outlets along with more questions that I would like to have answered before pulling the trigger.
Sorry and thanks!~ In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence. ~ -
Tom, take your time. Try googling PS Audio UPC-200, then instead of clicking the links click "cached" by the address.
It is quite small for a line conditioner, being so it is 4 outlets with two separate zones...see the pic above.
P.S. For anyone reading this look to the bottom of the thread for updates since we can no longer edit. -
Wish I could edit...new pics in the sunlight. There are two small flaws, the small **** on the right hand side, and another tiny one on the face plate, bottom 1in or so from the left side.

Yeah... she looks really banged up;)I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore.

Yep beat to hell. If it wasn't for seeing it in sunlight I wouldn't have noticed 1 of the 2 nicks.
