Surge protection
My apartment recently had a serious power surge. To my horror, a few pieces of equipment were killed! Aurender was great for repairing my N100. Still waiting on the status of my Walker precision motor drive and Meridian Headphone amp.
It’s been my understanding that surge protectors degrade the sound of a high-end system. But going forward I feel I would be foolish not to put surge protectors in front of my expensive equipment.
I would appreciate any advice about what works without sound degradation,
...another trusted manufacturer when it comes to surge protection.
Glad to hear it did it's job, and probably paid for itself right then and there many times over. |
I purchased a couple of the PST-8 units earlier this year and they sound fine. However, when researching them asking prices were all over map. I purchased 2 units for around $200/shipped while some venders listed single units in the $200-$240 range. I also use Monster HTS-2000's from way back (a sleeper in that they sound better than their higher up units of the time). For non-HiFi stuff I use the following which are surge protection only (living in Los Angeles I surge protect everything except the toaster, the fridge and incandescent lighting). DeKay |
@fuzztone - Furman makes a very wide range of surge strips and conditioners. You can go from my blog post to find more details but to get the Wirecutter performance you need SMP and LiFT. |
