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.
@jea48 , would a several 1000 Volt lightning transient be like a direct hit? |

@erik_squires , after years and years and years of putting it off, I think I am about ready to pull the trigger on a Furman PST-8 myself. I note that it comes with an 18 gauge power cord--is there any down side to using a heavier aftermarket power cord with it? |
