Is there a good, less-expensive alternative to Furman in the world of rack power conditioning? For instance, the Rack Rider RR15-Plus.

I don't know about cheaper, but Juice Goose power conditioners are supposed to be very good. -
Re: Power conditioners
Furman's aren't very expensive at all really. You can get one with the lights on it for like $80 new.I like playing with the lights when I am bored in the studio.Comment

Re: Power conditioners
Anyone used the Furman with the built-in tuner? I've read some reviews that were a bit harsh in terms of the tuner accuracy, but I'm considering putting together a compact rack system and would see some benefits to a combination unit.Comment

Re: Power conditioners
all of those that you stated really arent power conditioners....they are just rack mounted outlet strips....if you want to really protect your gear and keep a consistant tone you need a furman ar1215....that actually regulates the voltage and supplies your rack with a consistant voltage which protects from spikes and drop offsComment

Re: Power conditioners
To expand upon what Trillian says, the normal Furman PL-8 merely filters the AC line and offers voltage "spike" protection. This is usually fine - it cuts the racket from "dirty" power and can save your digital stuff in a "spike" situation - but for handling true voltage issues, you need a full blown balanced conditioner or regulator, like the IT-1220.
Check out the Furman Site - it's got a lot of info that seems pretty useful.
