Since the power in my studio is the absolute worst, I get ground-loop humming from all the crap I have plugged in around the room. I needed power conditioning to remove this, and this battery backup has done the job well. Does a fair enough job for myself. I haven't tried running something till the battery ran dead but I can tell ya... It's held up well during thunderstorms where even the shortest of power outages / flickers would make the turntables power down. They continue to spin and live web broadcasts keep streaming as well since I use one of those outlets for my DSL router. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:293678 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
