For example, the inexpensive plug-ins sold at commercial hardware stores (usually rated at 1800 watt, 1080 Joule). Has anyone tried them and noticed a degradation in sound? I ask because my power conditioners do not provide surge protection.
Very very nice. I have Blue Circle BC86's for filtering and a Furman for power surges. So, to get back on topic, if u live in an area with lightening strikes or unstable line voltage, I would say u need some protection. Audio Advisor sells the Furman line with a 30 day return policy.
Bill Wlhitlock has a great article/seminar from Jensen Transformers on surge protection and niose reduction. Real eye opener. He recommends SurgeX as it doesn't shunt the surges to ground but dissipates them.
