I have some Furman Power Conditioners in the studio. I know they don't that much, but they do provide some security. I guess.

Today I ran into all sorts of problems. When I turned on one of my Furmans (a PL-PLUS) a fuse in the house blew. I tried to locate the problem and three fuses later it started to smell pretty weird. I then realized that the problem seemed to be the Furman itself. When I opened it up I found two burnt capacitors (see in next post).

How did this happen? I only had two machines connected to it at the time and they seem to work fine. I use these machines to avoid these kind of problems, not to create them...
