Do you pull A/C plugs during thunder storms?

Ever since coming home to the smell of electrical stench that comes from an amplifier hit by lightening, I have always unplugged my system. It's a smell that is unforgettable. Even while sleeping at night, if I hear a passing thunderstorm, I wake up and immediately unplug it.

I only plug my gear 'in' when I want to listen .
I too live in Florida and have seen lightening strikes without any apparent storms !

I flip the breaker switch; it's a lot easier and I don't have to worry about reapplying my expensive quicksilver contact enhancer to the plugs' blades afterwards. Some may argue that flipping the breaker is less effective because of arching across terminals during a storm or that when the breaker is reapplied a surge can damage the gear. I have never experienced these negatives in my 26 years of being in this hobby.

Moral to the story.Audio lovers should not live in Florida
