Quick check - Airlink BMU - which one?
I've a 500VA Airlink atm which I bought used from ebay - and it's bloody marvellous.
But thinking of upping it to a 2000VA or 3000VA model.
Sensible?
Which one? - any gains from 3kva over 2kva when kit is using far less than either?
With conditioning or unconditioned?
Ta :)
(I'm sure this has been covered elsewhere - but there's about 10000 pages on the forum about it :doh:)

The bigger the transformer the more likely you will get unit hum. They are also big heavy ugly units. When I used balanced mains I used a 2kva unit, which is rated at 8.6 amps continuous current, more than enough. 500va should be used for sources and pre, but not power amps.
I used the hardwired version straight into a 6 way Olson mains block, the Airlink BPS2020.
Interestingly this unit has the same spec that I got fitted to mine a few years ago i.e. an RCBO on the output. Guess a lot of us asked. :P

On current rating, a Krell KSA-100, 100W of pure class A, draws 5.8 amps at the wall, which is about as extreme as it gets. Normal entire setups are drawing way less, well under 3 amps.
