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.

@soix Maybe I’ve just been lucky or have robust equipment, but all my stuff since five years ago runs through an Audience power conditioner and that’s enough to keep me from yanking power cords every time I hear thunder — just not gonna do that.

Has using a power conditioner improved your sound ? i.e. dirty power artifacts etc. Are you using audiophile AC cables to your components?

I am in a 110 apartment building built-in 2010. We have fiber optical Internet, but I don’t stream just yet, happy just playing records for now
