used to live in a stupidly active lightning and power issue area. Would up having everything of value on battery backup. Still need to unplug them if lightning is there but for power drops it made a big difference and is not that expensive. As you leave yur gear on all the time I guess it would only help for the short term outages. no idea what so ever on the power quality vs sound quality. Staying miles away from that.
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.
