I wrote about modern surge protectors here. The only independent surge testing I know of is covered here, and you'll be surprised who wins.
Power strip recommendations
My Panamax power strip with surge protection quit working after about 15 years or more of use. What would you recommend for a replacement? This will be for my home theatre system (receiver, TV, BluRay, etc.). I don't need surge protection or noise filtering. Just good solid construction, tight receptacles, heavy gauge wiring.
Thanks,
Mike
