Power strip recommendations

My Panamax power strip with surge protection quit working after about 15 years or more of use. What would you recommend for a replacement? This will be for my home theatre system (receiver, TV, BluRay, etc.). I don't need surge protection or noise filtering. Just good solid construction, tight receptacles, heavy gauge wiring.

 

Thanks,

Mike

I researched, chose this Furman

Furman’s exclusive Power Factor provides a 45A peak current reservoir 

usually on sale somewhere

You want the PFR version, it's capacitors store a reserve

I had a power surge and everything that was not connected to an AudioQuest Power conditioner needed servicing.

Just buy an AudioQuest 1200 and worry no more.

@ozzy  I had a surge last year and lost my MacBook Air, which was charging and I had forgotten about it.  I'm usually obsessive over having my stereo and computer equipment, including networking, surge protected.  Lesson learned.

These are well built, metal, heavy and will do all you need, the connections are tight, and the price is reasonable. This brand also has them with less outlets. I have 3.
