A surge protector can only protect you from 1 spike or surge. Read the little manual. If you find your equipment off because of the protector buy a new one or purchase one with a replaceable module. The ones with a replaceable module are expensive and may only be available through an electrician.
Oh My, power outages,help
We recently had a series of power outages. The first time was bad, as I leave my components on (SS amp - delayed shut off, tube pre-amp - no on/off switch, cd player, turntable & speakers). Loud noises through speakers as equipment power went off.
The second time was worse as I was listening to the stereo when the power went out. Volume level, of course was higher. Noise from the speakers was much louder, and this scared the s++t out of me. Thankfully no damage.
Is there anything I can do to safeguard my equipment, especially the speakers? The outage happened without warning, no inclement weather.
