Looking at Panamax power conditioners - only thing is that i dont believe they are made for Australia.

OR am i wasting my time and money looking at these things as we in Australia dont really need them???

Furman power centers are available in Australia. I'm not sure if Furman bought Panamax or the other way around, but they do share certain features. But some of the features are strictly held to the Furman line.

That is the link to the dealer or distributor for the Furman power centers in Australia.

My experience with my Elite 15PF i has been very good. As for line filtration, and surge suppression I cannot complain. The model in the link above is probably the most similar to what I am using.

looking at the small unit... i want to use this in conduction with my belkin power board - is this a good idea or scrap the belkin and just use a proper power conditioner....???

I would go to the one mentioned before. It's going to offer you some added features like power factor technology. The big thing that is going to do is allow your amps (for your AVR and your sub) to not be starved for power in really intense times of playback.

My understanding about the little guys is they are really only made to strictly be for mounting behind a flat panel.

My recommendation would be to do the complete power conditioner.

speaking to the distibutor - he indicates that i cannot connect my Belkin to it as the Furman will detect it... chizzap seems like yours would be the go... or the PL8CE

Yeah, the one similar to mine offers a few more features for the purposes of home theater systems.
