Audiophile Surge Suppressor (and nothing else)


Are there any audiophile level surge suppressors that do not add any conditioning or filtering? A fancy power strip with quality outlets, wiring and a non-captive cord, maybe metal for shielding. Thoughts?

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,

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!

Dear fellow audiophile;

Wiremold brand, L10320 recommended by Naim Audio.  This is not a surge/spike

protector other than the fact that it is in the electrical circuit path and if something nasty comes your way it may be of some protection.
