Unplugging power cords from amps/ pre amps


This might be a stupid question but when there is a thunderstorm lightning storm I used to unplug my power cords from the outlet but now I can’t do that because of a lot of things in the way to reach my plugs from the outlets. I want to know if it is ok to unplug my amps / pre / cdp from the female end that goes to my equipment and then replugging them back after.  Of course the units are off when unplugging / plugging them back. Ty.

IF your system is plugged into separate circuit(s), (as it should be) simply turn the breaker(s) off, back on after storm passes.

WHY would you unplug if the circuit is off?

IF your equipment is plugged into a protective device, either trust your protective device, OR, unplug the protective device, thus everything plugged into it is unplugged.

In your case, or if you do not want a protective device, a high quality plug strip into your separate circuit(s), outlet end located where you can reach it, plug/unplug the pieces there.
