Looks good, but I´m looking for EU 220-240V products.

I thought they might offer it in a 220 version. I'm probably wrong...

Right now I´ve been looking at these models:

P-2300 IT E

The "High End" solution to this is to get your grounding right. It's possible that you have "dirty power" in which case the Furman type solution may help negligibly, but I've yet to see that.
Currently in an office building myself, I've had little control over what comes out of the wall, but an Equitech unit was the only thing that made a significant difference.
I think Furman also offers a balanced power product, so if you're loving the brand, go with that. I wasn't able to achieve any measurable difference with them.

The P-2300 is a balanced power product and it seems to be ment for studios. Weighs a ton though, 43kg (95lbs). I just don´t know which one to pick. I think regulator could be necessary, but don´t know since I´m no expert.

Main thing is that it keeps all the buzzing away from my equipment and is quiet in the room.

Thanks! But I think I´m going to buy a new piece. I get good deals from my reseller. Just curious, why are you selling? Is it a good piece of equipment keeping all the buzzing away? Does it make any noise in the room?

Ahh, I didn't look at the product. My mistake. The big difference between these products is that the P-6900 is a 30 amp unit, which will require special wiring. If all of your gear fits into 10 amps, then the 2300 IT E might work. It looks like it uses female IEC connectors on it, which would be a pain. You wouldn't need to add the P-1400 to it. It's basically a big transformer, so if it's making noise, there's something wrong.
I went with the 2RQ for my requirements, but here's a link to Equitech's product page for one that fits yours.

Off topic, "Symmetrically Balanced" seems redundant, but I guess they had to change the name to not get sued by Equitech.

10 amps at 240 volt I believe is the equivalent to 20 amps at 120, so I could see that working out fine. The biggest power hog in my room is the Mac Pro, which I believe has a 1000 watt power supply. It almost never actually pulls that much.

Hmm... Furman isn't exactly what I'd call a"high end" brand.
