Surge protection
My apartment recently had a serious power surge. To my horror, a few pieces of equipment were killed! Aurender was great for repairing my N100. Still waiting on the status of my Walker precision motor drive and Meridian Headphone amp.
It’s been my understanding that surge protectors degrade the sound of a high-end system. But going forward I feel I would be foolish not to put surge protectors in front of my expensive equipment.
I would appreciate any advice about what works without sound degradation,
I recommend the Furman PST-8 line. Tested by Wirecutter and the let through voltage is low.
I had a different Furman unit a while ago (an M-8, I believe) and it seemed to have protected my equipment while I was away on vacation. Came back to find the 'Extreme Voltage' LED was lit and the unit was off. Once I reset it, all the connected equipment powered on as normal. |
