I was thinking some sort of containment device on the order of the ones used in the movie "Ghostbusters": two in the box, ready to go. We be fast and they be slow.

Amps Power Conditioners and Lightning, what to do?
How about whole house surge/lightning protection installed at service panel by the utility company? 
Are Maggies Cat Proof?

Power cable for Supratek Syrah?
Heard from other Supratek users that the Moray James PC is a good way to go. Once my Chenin arrives, I'm going to start off with a cryo Virtual Dynamics Power Three. I've got an extra of those but no Moray James ;).
