In response to the power conditioner issue, I built from a kit a unit from Bruce at Transcendent Sound. The unit retails about $400. I have very dirty power and run an entire stereo system throught it without any difficulty. If I could build the kit anyone can however, the completed unit is available. I wholeheartedly second the pulling of the plugs in the event of a thunderstorm warning. Steve Levick
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.
