Hi folks!

I don't know if this thread even belongs to Bryston Audio Circle, but I am going to ask you anyway.

First let me say I have nothing against Bryston or Torus A/C power conditioners. It is just that they are extremely expensive in Croatia which is where I live.

So I am wondering if there are some good alternatives out there and which ones are you using. Keep in mind we use a 230V/50Hz grid here so only manufacturers who make compatible devices are of use to me.

My primary concern is protection and reliability, A/C cleaning comes second.

Thanks,
Antun

Sorry, but you posted on the wrong forum. We are Bryston folks.

I'm not sure there is an alternative other than PSaudio which is even more expensive.   Perhaps, another industry such as medical power supplies???  Regardless,  I don't think there are any other purpose built toroidal options for audio out there....that said good luck in your search.   

Cheers

I'm not sure anything will work against a full lightning strike.  If one is looking for surge protection probably an industrial surge protector might be the best solution (and I'm sure there are lots more items like this) - https://www.brickwall.com/collections/industrial-surge-protectors or https://shedheads.net/whole-house-surge-protectors     I do have whole house surge protection (consumer grade products) hich are located in the electrical interface box outside by the electric meter and over a period of 8 years a couple have bit the dust).  Still had some lightning damage almost 4 years ago.  I do have an old Torus RM20 when Bryston distributed them in the main system with my better two channel stuff plugged in (which just shut off when the lightning hit).  I have other surge protectors/power conditioners on secondary systems.
