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?
Surge protector
This morning we had a power surge. First one I ever experienced. It knocked out the sub woofer components of my GoldenEar Triton one speakers. In my ignorance I had them plugged into the wall rather than a surge protector. Soooo it blew the amplifiers in the sub woofers. It’s going to be a costly proposition: $500 for the amplifiers plus God knows how much the dealer is going to charge for coming to my house. (He’s very reluctant to do it, wants me to lug the 80 lbs speakers to the store.
Meanwhile, I’m having to listen to bass-less speakers for the foreseeable future.
So, the moral of the story is plug everything into a surge protector.

@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. |
