Unplugging power cords from amps/ pre amps

My system is on a dedicated 20 amp circuit that runs from the breaker panel through an isolation transformer and then up to the wall outlet where it feeds through a line conditioner/voltage regulator before going to each component. If a spike gets through all that, my home owners insurance will pick up the tab. 

Preventive measures a worth a pound of cure. If your plugs are not accessible, then take time out to make them  accessible. Consider this, that some components have circuits active even if their power button is in off position. 

I have a whole house surge protector installed in my electrical panel.  My home theater systems are plugged into power conditioner/surge protectors.  My computer equipment, NAS, monitors, and routers are plugged into UPS devices.  My standalone TVs are plugged into surge protectors.

My listening room equipment is on a dedicated 20 amp circuit.  All equipment, except my power amp is plugged into a Denali power conditioner; the amp is plugged into a wall outlet. During thunderstorms, I power down all my listening room equipment and unplug the Denali and power amp from the wall sockets.

If I have a direct lightning strike, my homeowner’s insurance covers that.  I unplug my expensive gear because I don’t want to go through the hassle of replacing it.  And I hope the power conditioner/surge protectors do their job well enough to prevent my other electronics from being destroyed.
