Before, I only used a ETA PD9 Power Conditioner/ Surge Protector and it is great for lower votage rack units in one rack and it cleaned up my signal very well.
I read somewhere on an Internet forum, that to have better noise filtering you need seperate types of outlets for Digital, Analog and High Voltage requirements.
I looked up Furman and bought one and it didn't affect the sound too well and I returned it back to Guitar Center. So I decided to get the Monster 2500. The first one failed and I was going back to the Furman, but decided not to, so I exchanged for another Monster 2500 .
Went home and dropped it into my rack, hooked up to my tube amps ( now using two Crate Power Blocks) to the high voltage outlet in the back, used the Analog outlets to power my ETA PD9 Power Conditioner , run a cable with a power surge protection power strip for my Decibel Eleven Hot Stone Deluxe to power footpedals on my pedalboard and I used the Digital filtered outlet to run my Digitech 2112 SGS, Behringer 1124P Feedback Destroyer and ran a cable with another surge protector to give clean power to a Digitech RP-12, RP-1 and Decibel Eleven Loop Expander.
And it sounded much better than the Furman, by a long shot.
What I liked was the power sequence that the 2500 turned my equipment on.
First, the Analog gear , the Digital gear and finally the high powered filtered outlet was the final in the sequence.
Later on, a friend coincidencely, gave me a Monster 1100 Power Bar and then I had multiple layers of Power Conditioning, surge protection and noise filtering.
