Long story short--I'm moving--got set all my stuff back up. My guy told me I've been lucky cuz I got 1 power strip in the wall and two into each other via elephant tail. that's 15 pieces of equip in 3 power strips going into ONE plug in the wall. Dude said I need to get a Furman Regulator cuz it regulates and conditions the power so I won't get a brownout and blow all my equip or start a fire--plus I get feedback sometimes. He says that I and everyone else has dirty power. The regulators are pricey (roughly $550 for 9 plugs) but worth the investment----so my question is---should I run both furmans on two plugs in the same room or just have one plugged in and run a line from a socket in another room? So they'll be on different fuses.

Dont chain any of them. Keep them all on separate outlets since the capacity of these power conditioners is limited to a certain amount of watts. I'd highly recommend the Furman Voltage Regulator / Power Conditioners. They're well worth the investment for the gear you own. I currently use the Furman Power Conditioners and not the Voltage Regulator/ Power Conditioners. Where I live, I have quite a few power surges and brownouts, so I'm looking to upgrade as well. Check out the website. I'll link you to one of the many Voltage Regulator / Power Conditioners that are available. Talk to your dude and see which models will suit your needs. http://www.furmansound.com/products/consumer/ar-20.php?req=pc

damn all that equipment in ONE outlet??

Damn yo you tryna blow up for real, huh?. Ima turn on the news and see dude with MPC pads and buttons lodged in his grille.

You should try to spread that out my dude. This is another reason why I'm simplifying my setup. Cuz my old setup --I simply had too much shht.

And you just got that new 2500 joint poppin off too!

Good luck fam.
