Spending my time listening to chamber music and other music not requiring a subwoofer.
Maybe I’ll get to know the Beethoven string quartets better.
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 , thank you--I have learned a lot from you in the past and I continue to do so. I am not trying to beat this horse to death in order to get the answer I want, I am genuinely trying to learn as much as I can, so would the kind of voltage surge/spike that could jump across a tripped circuit breaker be protected from by a surge protector? For example, by the Furman PST-8 that has been talked about in this thread? Thanks again. |
Well, this is interesting, I am looking at the picture of a PST-8 on Amazon and it shows a detachable 3' cord, and then I am looking at a PST-8 on Sweetwater and it is showing the power cord hardwired into the PST-8. Hmmmm? (The PST8 from 'Zon costs about $20 more.) I guess I'll order the one from 'Zon and unless someone on this thread advises agsindt, I think I'll grab a heavier cord that is 3' long. I think I'll order this one in 3' long:
