High end UPS for Expensive audio eequipments


Folks,

I just had a sudden power outage while my expensive audiophile system was running.

It really gave me the scare of my life thinking of the aftermath.

Would you folks know of a good protector of high powered amps?

Thanks in advance,

If we’re talking purely on the basis of investment protection, Series Mode Surge suppressors are the only one’s I truly trust.

The technology is licensed by PS Audio, Surge-X and Furman, but Furman tends to have the lower prices.

A UPS often introduces more problems than they solve, and they are no guarantee of protection from surges.

Without prejudice to the performance degradation issues from the insertion of the surge protector unit and its filtering effects, High-end audio gear usually already has high-end quality build power supplies that do not benefit from any intermediary plug-in surge protection or power conditioners.

if surge protection gives you added peace of mind, then only add it as a quality build system-wide insertion by a licensed electrician at the Electrical panel rather than ANY wall plug-in accessory.
the best protector is anticipating a problem; were you aware of questionable weather conditions and ignored the warning signs of a potential problem?  

were you scared enough to learn this lesson: disconnect, and listen safely later, when the atmosphere is stable

Live on the east coast USA. No warning at all. Weather was sunny.

Just a sudden blip followed by outage.

Thanks for all the responses guys. Please keep it coming.

Regards.
