Surge Protectors


Hello Friends, 

I recently added a dedicated 20amp circuit just for my Dutch & Dutch 8C's (active speakers). In addition to some vibration control (T podiums) the setup sounds amazing. I couldn't be happier with the 8C's, and the impending firmware upgrade adding BACCH to the system is just a big fat cherry on top. I'm nearly at the end of my journey in terms of buying/upgrading. 

 At the moment the right speaker doesn't reach the new outlet so both speakers are plugged into a surge protector, which is plugged into the new outlet. 

My question is this, is my surge protector ($26 Belkin with 12 plugs from Amazon) a bottleneck, or in any way limiting the benefits of the new circuit?

Do you really want surge protection or just a method to reach your new 20 amp circuit?  The answer may be different.

@ 69zoso69 well I had the Furman ref 15i for many years.  I felt it did a pretty good job, however there was an ever so slight transformer hum if you put your ear near the top of the unit.  I subsequently upgraded to the Puritan PMS 156 which I feel gave me an audible improvement as well as protection.
