Surge protection, no filtering, no regen please...


I've been trying a few power conditioner during the last few months, Quintet, Furutech products, APC etc... I found that they all changed the sound... but all of them got worse (limited dynamics or at least something not to my taste).

I know I can't afford a regen like PPP but I want protection.

What's your experience on something that provide surge protection but absolutely does not change the sound a bit?

Thx. Tom.

You cannot really protect from strong direct hit since it creates plasma 1 foot wide and you need very thick wire and grounding rod to return it to earth, but any protection is better than none (protects from line spikes and indirect hits). I would unplug (if I'm at home) and if you have roof antenna - ground it. Metal structure on asphalt shingle roof gets charged by wind (static electricity) to thousands of volts and your house looks (electrically) like skyscraper.
