Boy, I'd be nervous leaving that prime gear unprotected. I have a whole house surge supressor installed at the electric service entrance box. I also plug my gear into a PS Audio Dectet. Here in Northern Arizona we have some monster lightning storms when monsoon season starts and that's soon. If a bolt hits the house or in close proximity, nothing can withstand that force. This is why we buy Homeowner's Insurance.
Surge protector
Hello all. Just need some advice on a surge protector for my amp and preamp. A few months ago we had a thunder and lightning storm. It blew out my ac condenser in my central ac conditioner. Now am worried about that happening to my ARC Ref 6 preamp and my Krell FPB 600 amp. Right now they are on a dedicated 20 amp line that both my amp and pre are using. I listen to my system practically everyday and leave my amp on stand by all the time. My amp and pre amp. I really do not want a surge protector with a power conditioner as I have read that the Krell FPB 600 sounds best the life expectancy lasts longer if plugged directly into electric receptacle. Would I loose any Sonics from a surge protector? Should I just unplug the amp and preamp when I see a storm brewing? But then what if I am not home to unplug? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks to all. Cheers.
