Audiophile Surge Suppressor (and nothing else)

@nonoise  Interesting your experience with ZeroSurge I have one in each of my 2  audio systems as well as one with my main TV and there's no etch or restraints on sound etc.

Don’t think you wish to be in Florida for this next one, It’s going to be a bad one.

True, though Helene’s swath of destruction and power outages that reached far inland.

For sure though, we are now talking the type of damage a surge protector won't help you with.   :D  Still, 99% of the surges that fry computers and stereos are not nearly this severe.

Yes, good to hear your voice again @erik_squires , thanks for your comments. I have a lot of ideas based on this conversation, thanks for all the feedback. 

@facten It could very well be that I live in an older apartment building with around 32 other tenants. 

All the best,
Nonoise

I used a Tripplite Isolation Transformer on my system.  However, after it started to hum after a few years, I went wild and purchased a Shunyata Everest Power Conditioner, which honestly, not only protected my gear from a lightning strike that fried our generator and HVAC, but elevated my system to a new level of satisfaction.  The Everest added a 3D quality to the soundstage that I felt was lacking and now the system is just synergistically perfect!  An expensive but highly recommended purchase!
