@asvjerry -- It sounds like you are thriving in or around Asheville, North Carolina. I grew up in East Tennessee and have lived in Central NC since 1985. Fantastic part of the Country. If I'm correct about Asheville...indeed it is booming!
I wasn’t sure where to classify this…
So this isn’t specifically audio focused, but people here understand things like
power management, THD and so on.
I moved from So-Cal where all I had to worry about was having a UPS for a 30 second or less power outage. Now I live in So-Alabama where hurricanes could potentially take power out for up to 2 weeks!
in said situation, whole house backup generators are extremely
pricey! I have a regular construction generator I want to use as an emergency backup, as well as a battery backup UPS on my computer.
this is a non-inverter generator, so it’s dirty power. lol my
UPS protect my computer etc, and regulate the large THD issues, or do I need something to help adapt? Since this is for backup, and I don’t plan to run my high end theater equipment on it, it’s merely asking advise on equipment that would help me not fry my computer in a 5-10 day power outage with dirty power. Is the UPC enough? Do I need more?

@asvjerry and @thecarpathian ,
I’m in Winston-Salem, or "The Dash" as we locals call it. Shelton Vineyards, along with Raylens Vineyards are wonderful places to visit, along with the multitude of Breweries that have opened up in the Triad. Nowhere near the explosion of Suds in the Asheville area -- last count there were almost 70 breweries in Western North Carolina, rivaling Portland, Oregon, as the new Brewery Capital in the U.S.
Jerry, you should check out the two fine Audio stores we have here in Winston-Salem now -- Ember Audio + Design and Custom Home Hi-Fi. Ember carries Wilson Audio, Dynaudio, KEF, Naim, Vinnie Rossi, Octave, Rega, Clearaudio, SME, and Dr. Feickert. Custom Home reps Rega, Pro-Ject, Marantz, PrimaLuna, EAT, Focal, Wharfdale, and Paradigm. I know both owners, let me know if you make a trip down and I’ll introduce you. |
