Belkin PureAV PF60
« on: December 14, 2011, 08:33:08 AM »
I saw a thread about this unit over in Cheap and Cheerful over at AC and decided that with the good things said there and at $125 each, I couldn't resist and picked up a couple.

http://www.buy.com/prod/belkin-pureav-pf60-home-theater-power-console-belkin-pureav-pf60-home/207514357.html

Well they arrived today, and I must say that upon first inspection I'm quite impressed! The units are heavy and well made, with solid construction and a VERY thick shielded 14 gauge power cord rated for 600v. I'll be hooking one up in the living-room for the LCD, x-box, blu-ray, and receiver there, and I'm also going to put one in the basement on my main system. I’ll report back on sound after some listening. I checked today and they've gone up in price to $190, but still a pretty good deal from what I can see, and Amazon has them for $168 http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-AP41300fc10-PureAV-Theater-Console/dp/B001541R5W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323881971&sr=8-1

Well I really like it! It has improved my system a good deal!

Disclosure: I was running my system through a decent, but still simple Belkin power-strip before this, as I only have one outlet near my system.

This unit has given me a more quiet background, more expansive sound-stage, and better dynamics too. Well worth it for me!!!  :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

  What no double blind test ?/ :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


Great for video applications. A monster HTS 3500 as well as a Tice enhancer have been serving us well for years.
   Good to know about the Belkin.

Great that this is working out for you Barry. I had the smaller PF30(?), and it didn't quite cut it in my audio system.
Plus it hummed, loud enough I could hear it from my sweet seat.

Wow, hummed? The 2 units I have are dead quiet, the one I have down in my main system has actually quieted some of the transformer hum my amps have. I'm a week in now, and I still feel it's improved the sound of my system. But again, it did replace a far simpler power strip that may have been chocking my system somewhat.

I had 2 PF60's, neither one hummed.  

FYI, it appears the price has gone up and is now cheaper to purchase through Amazon.com.
