Surge protector

@markcasazza

I quote pi.ai:

Both Panamax and Furman are owned by the same parent company, Linear, LLC, which is a division of Nortek, Inc. In 2006, Panamax acquired Furman Sound, and since then, Furman has operated as a second brand within Panamax.

When I last looked, some Panamax high end surge protectors included the Furman features of SMP and LiFT.

You are right that a lot of snake oil in this business exists which is why I always turn to the Wirecutter article which is, as far as I know, the only third-party survey of surge protectors which actually includes 5kV surge testing.

The Furman brand has long been associated with professional sound gear as well as home gear.

My amplifier manual specifies not to connect to a power strip unless it is rated for High Current use. My question is are the Furman/Tripp Lite mentioned here capable for High Current use? 

@robert_1  - Sounds very squishy.

Furman makes units for 15 A and 20A circuits.  Hope that's high enough.

@erik_squires ​​​​thanks for the input.  I ordered the Furman PST 8, if it doesn't work I can use it for the rest of the Audio/Video equipment, but hopefully, it will support my Amplifier.

Surge protectors are a waste of money. Invest in a whole house surge protector like the Seimens FS140 and be done with it.
