Welcome to Europe? Guess you're gonna hate that $6 gas and the $800 Xbox 360 et al. Besides, no surge protector, much less one retailing for $500, is going to protect an audio system without degrading its performance.
Power Conditioners/Voltage regularts for 230v
Okay, why is this so hard? I recently moved to Europe -- to Italy, where we live with 230v/50hz -- and getting an affordable surge protector/conditioner/voltage regulator seems to be impossible. Monster (hush, now, they're perfectly fine) makes such a device. However, what costs $500 or so in the states costs $1,400 over here (with the exchange rate).
I bought a decent surge protector/UPS for my computer system here for a reasonable $100 or so. Does the job and has already done so (we lose power on a regular basis).
Any suggestions? I don't want to spend a ton on this gear; I just want to protect my amp and peripherals.
