Thread: Recommendation needed - power distributor for single component

Running a Lumin X1 directly into my Boulder amp (which is plugged directly into the wall), so I only really need to deal with clean power for the Lumin. While I realize the Everest is the "best" option from Shunyata, I'm not sure the price aligns with using it for just one component.

Any suggests on the best balance of features/functionality and price to provide the Lumin with the best possible power feed?

Thanks!

Consider the new Shuyata Gemini power distritbutor, MSRP $1998. For your application, I think it'd be the perfect solution for your Lumin.

Output Current Ratings:
Max Current/Outlet: 15A (US & AS)
Max Current/Socket: 16A (EU)

Noise reduction specs:
Noise Suppression:
Input to Output (100 kHz – 30 MHz): > 24 dB reduction
Zone to Zone (100 kHz – 30 MHz): > 26 dB reduction

It also has 4 Altaira-type ground-plane noise reduction terminals so you can connect a ground cable from your Lumin to it as well. It also works with a "regular" C15-type power cord, so you don't need to buy a C20 PC to power it.

I use one for my "networked music server remote room"; it's an excellent power distributor for the price. Here's a pic of mine on top of an Altaira to give a sense of scale.


A pic of it set up for the music server remote room application. I've got three ground cables from the music server networking components connected to it's Altaira-type GP-NR terminals (EtherREGEN, the music server, and the router).


If that's above your budget, then get the Shunyata PS10. It's excellent also, and has the same NR specification, -24 dB, as Gemini. $900. It also comes with a Venom V12 noise-reduction (NR) power cord, so you don't need to buy a power cord for it, either. 👍

I used the PS10 in my remote server room for powering EtherREGEN, my Pace Router, and music server computer, until Gemini became available. I now use my PS10 for my home theatre set-up, it's great for that application, as well.

Here's a pic of mine...

Awesome...the Gemini looks like a good middle ground.

It's great, and the Altaira-type ground-plane noise reduction capability should not be overlooked.
