HAHA 😆 😅. Be careful with that back around 1998 when the strip protectors weren't so good a lightening storm fryed the transformer in my Kenwood receiver and no parts available so it was done. I did find a replacement on eBay for $475 I think it was. Get one of those big ones that the whole thing plugs into the wall , no cord at home Depot they have a $10,000 protection guarantee.
lightning storm
listening to my new Maria Callas vinyl last night and a huge thunderstorm/lightning storm starts up. About 2,3 seconds before each boom, I was getting a lot of static through my speakers. EMI from the lightning? I have no idea so asking the group. Thanks. Smart ass answers accepted also :-)
