Suggestions for a conditioner/surge protector?


Hello all.....I will be using a Powervar 6 outlet conditioner for the audio side of my setup, but would like to keep the video separate. The video side is a plasma tv, dvd player, satellite box(going to get), and possibly a dvr. The conditioner would have to have a coax input for cable/ satellite. The powervar will have the following plugged in: Innersound esl amp, Cary SLP-98 pre, Cary 303/100 cdp, and a REL Strata III sub. Would it be ok to use the REL sub there, or should I use it for the video side? As you can tell, I'm not an expert on power conditioning/surge protection, and would greatly appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

Take a look at the Monster product line

and the new H series of AVB power conditioners from APC, the leader in the computer space.

Both companies have offerings that properly sized, will absolutely make a very visible difference in your image quality.

Hopefully you will be using two different circuits both on the same phase leg. If you are going to plug both conditioners into one wall outlet - for reasons of budget or logistics - I would just get one bigger unit to plug everything into.

All things being equal, the sub should go with the rest of the audio to minimize the chance of a ground loop problem.
