Awesome Power Management thus far

I bought this to go along side my new Sony 75" 900E. I don't trust the power source coming from FPL since IRMA hit so I wanted to be protected.
I upgraded from a monster power management that has kept and still keeps my 65" Panasonic VT30 safe.
The biggest feature I love about this compared to the monster is the plug right in the front of the unit. Makes it real nice to hook up my laptop or my iPad. Plus this has 11 Outlets and I believe my monster only has 8.

I Only Trust & Use Panamax Products

It doesn’t matter if you’re purchasing the top of the line Entertainment Center, or if you can only afford a basic HDTV.
The point is your paying your own money for those electronics. So why would you not want to protect those electronics with the best surge-protectors & power-conditioning equipment? Even one of Panamax’s most basic surge-protectors is not only reasonably priced but an outstanding effective precautionary product. (Especially for customers residing in Florida.)
As for the Panamax 5300-PM surge-protector/power conditioner; I only trust & use this model for my own personal peice of mind. Because they definitely excel in all aspects of power issues that can damage your electronics. I have three (3) separate Panamax 5300-PM diligently working in three separate rooms that have a plethora of high-end electronics plugged into them.
I also use the newer Panamax wall outlet replacement protectors as well. All Panamax products have a guarantee if they’re products fail and your electronics are damaged they replace everything & then some!

I bought this as a precaution after downsizing and moving into a historic building. We JUST had a brown out (lost a phase leg) and it automatically shut everything down. The rest of the electronics in the house went wonky, but nothing connected to the Panamax. When power was restored, it waited for voltage to stabilize before everything turned back on. Saved my Bravia, 4K player, modem, router, Roku ,Sub and receiver From damage. Glad I did r decide to cheap out on the accessories.

The Panamax 5300 is the real deal. I have a wide band line tester and when I tested the unit it did what it said it was going to do it took the noise out of the line.For you out there considering the 5400 unless you have a 6 V swing in your voltage save money and get the 5300 because the volt stabilization in the 5400 won’t even work until you have a 6 V swing. Hope this helps

I bought this to replace a 15 year old monster cable balance power conditioner that bit the dust after years of heavy use. This power conditioner/surge protector does the job well and looks decent doing it. This has many built in features that are easily built in to suit most die hard audio video enthusiasts needs.
This panamax unit has my 4ktv, Avr, sub, bluray player, PS5, & 2 sonos amps plugged into it for surge protection. I like that this not only show the volt coming into the unit, but also the amperage draw from equipment hooked up to it.

This is great piece of equipment. I also own a 4300 which is a solid performer, but this piece of gear is a game changer for me.

Panamax M5300-PM Just the Ticket

Well, waiting for the Niagara 1200 to come back into stock as it appears they've been on a national back order for some time made me think. So I gave a look at the Furman Elite 15i which was a few hundred less expensive and very feature oriented, I thought I might go a little upmarket and checked out the Furman IT Reference 15i which is based on an isolation transformer and is probably the best way to go. At between $2600 and $2800 though I thought to myself I really like records and I like to play them as much as I want which presumes I'll need a phono cartridge again in a year or so there are better things I can do with the cash. There were others I took a passing glance at, McIntosh's Power Controller, the more expensive Audioquest Niargara 3000 and even a Torus. Poking around the internet I ran across Panamax which I've seen displayed at Best Buy but passed them by since I though I wanted to get away from power conditioners that were totally sacrificial. But I've been using an Adcom ACE 515 A/C Enhancer for the last 26 years that uses MOVs and it's never taken a hit big enough to turn it into a doorstop. Also the Panamax' were on sale. I decided to investigate the top two models, the most expensive the M5400-PM included voltage regulation and according to Panamax if you don't have trouble with line voltage fluctuations you don't need it so I focused on the M5300-PM which has all the same features without the regulation. Turns out this unit is well featured, has unfiltered high current outlets (for amps) and individually filtered and switched and un-switched outlets and also some readouts that might be considered superfluous for voltage and amperage. So, for less than $600 including tax I went online and paid for one and then went to pick it up. Though it was very easy to set up it forced me to rearrange some component locations, namely my phono stage and Neo PSU and disconnect and rerun all of my equipment's interconnects and power cords. It was worth it as all the wiring back there was getting out of hand and was creating avenues for noise to potentially get into the system.
There may be a lot of controversy around the efficacy of components such as powerline conditioners but I found the results of adding this one quite startling. The first record I put on was an Analog Production 2 x 45 Blue Note Of John Patton's - Here Comes John and the first thing I noticed before I even reached my listening spot was the presence of his Hammond B3 as if it was firmly anchored center stage between the speakers. Fred Jackson's and Harold Vick's saxophones were beautifully resolved and when Ben Dixon's drums came in the shimmer and decay of his cymbal strikes had a delicately metallic ring. Grant Green's guitar was present and clear with each individual note having a very tangible presence.
I've listened to some very beautiful records since I brought this powerline conditioner home and I continue to be impressed. Yesterday I listened to a CD remaster of Joni Michell's - Don Juan's Reckless Daughter and as totally enthralled, today it was the Pure Pleasure double LP of The Clifford Jordan Quartet's Glass Bead Games. Each record I'm listening to the soundstage is wider, the imaging is more vivid and the presentation is more atmospheric.

Very good, high quality product. If you have a lot of very high quality home theater products, like I do, this is a must to protect your investment. A typical surge protector just wont do the job. They are fine for many things but not when you have a lot invested in home theater or expensive electrical equipment. I have a Pioneer Elite TV(Pictured), a Sony 3D Projector, Klipsch THX Ultra2 Home Theater System (Photo Attached), Sunfire Amp and Pre-Amp, DirecTv Geanie, Samsung 3D Blue Ray Player, Control 4 remote, and the 4x2 HDMI switcher all hooked up to this and I still have more inputs if I add to this list. Very good product and looks good (even though mine is hidden in a storage room) too.
