Bought a second-hand AR-Pro for cheap (from someone over at Glenn's place) and then had Furman refurbish it, themselves. The used price, plus Furman's bench fee, a new triac, and some other components (as well as all that shipping) was still cheaper than retail... Has been running well in this 100 year old ? building in an industrial neighborhood. The console's balanced (IT-20) runs off that, as do some APS UPS's for the computers. Power is what you're working with. Don't skimp on juice. The countryside sounds like a great plan, in terms of acoustic isolation. ...and for star gazing (when the spoiled rock stars are away); If I use the wall outlet during the day, I read only 113 V, but at night it's a full 120. If I use the AR-PRO in front of the IT-20, the volts are at 119, during the day, and 120 all night.
