Audiophile Surge Suppressor (and nothing else)

@whart +1 on ZeroSurge. Similarly Brickwall or SurgeX

@zlone  You're correct even if you have whole home surge protection (I do) the electricians still advise other surge protection at the equipment.  I've had lightning strikes powerful enough to take out the whole home suppressor at the panel 3 times, though it did its job preventing any damage to the panel or otherwise.

Correct me if I am wrong but aren't Tripp Lite MOV based suppressors> If so they aren't optimal for protecting audio equipment and going for non-sacrificial suppressors such as ZeroSurge, Brickwall and SurgeX are preferable.

@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.
