I'm the proud owner of an APC H15 power conditioner for ~ $150 shipped!

Excellent. I look forward to hearing your impressions of it once it is in the system.
Good luck

Has Outlaw told you want failed in the units? The failure mode can often point to where the problem is. Per Tech Support, brown outs caused all the failures... ...a component in the Standby* circuit. "It's* between the jack & the power transformer." I'd like to survey 975 owners using line conditioners (e.g. APC* H15, etc) or UPSs if they've experienced a big enough brown out to engage "line boost*" circuitry. * APC talk for their Auto Voltage Regulation "kickin' up" sagging (below 103VAC) line voltage. Thx, Tony

I hear our UPS kick on now and again but haven't had any problems with our 975. Pretty sure we bought it in the spring (tax return money!) of 2013 so it's been in the system a while now.

It is very rare for us to lose power but the APC-15 has an indication on the front which tells you it has activated to control voltage. I think 103 volts is a bit out of its range and it will just shutdown the power. Mine has actuated during lightning storms without any apparent change in voltage.

At EEman's suggestion, I Finally, finally, FINALLY(!) today I completed a dedicated 15A line to power my low-draw gear. Key install point: the two dedicated lines are NOT on the same leg coming off the pole.
I unboxed my Outlaw, long back from repair in October. Along the way rearranged some gear & cabling, thoroughly cleaned everything, plugged in the H15 & connected it all.
Unfortunately by the time I finished, it was after 11pm!
Tomorrow I'll run a couple of tests then I enjoy the fruit I've, for so long, waited to taste, and ask God: please no more failures.
Merry CHRISTmas, Tony

Plug something else in first to test the outlet  Better yet, measure the power with a meter.

Better yet, measure the power with a meter. I did*. Further, I "tested the circuits together," by simultaneously powering up all high draw gear including, for test purposes only, a Mackie 1400i**. APC H15 Line Boost indicator didn't flash or flicker! Breakers on separate legs from the road did the trick. ** draws 1500 watts I've since added the MP-20s* to aid power distribution in 2 stages. I plan to add a third* for a third stage. Thanks for your help. Merry CHRISTmas! Tony

Earlier this week*, I finished my gift to my family: a VERY family-friendly*, incredibly robust 5.1 home entertainment system.
* prior to then, turn on required pressing or flipping 2 or more switches
Their return gift has been & will continue to be enjoying same!
