Yeah, I guess it probably does provide consistent power. But there's a catch. The sucker buzzes.

I bought two of them earlier this year and that seems to be the tradeoff. If you have a separate control room, no biggie. But if like me, your control room and recording room are the same, whatever consistency you get from the Furman is undermined by that buzz.

So. Anybody want to buy a Furman Line Regulater AR-1215?
What kind of buzz? Mechanical/Acoustical or buzz in the power? I can deal with acoustical buzz as long as it isn't really loud and annoying. That's kind of a bummer though, I was thinking about getting one for my rack of outboard. I'm running right on the brink, the TV is on the same circuit and if it's on long enough we'll trip the breaker. So, I'd assume the power is dipping enough to warrent something like the Furman regulator.
