What do you NOT plug into the power conditioner...


...hearing that there are and are not certain components that should be plugged into a conditioner...

Why would you not plug everything into a power conditioner assuming that the conditioner covers the watts required for all the devices?

I wish I could handle not plugging things into protection, but how do you stomach having such expensive equipment without surge protection? I have a whole house surge protector but don't believe it will be sufficient for delicate electronics, especially expensive ones. I see a wide range of voltage including dips and spikes, not to even mention the lightning storms. Do you worry about it or just assume its going to be fine?
Photon,

I think its just paranoia. I have read that the whole house protection keeps your house from burning down but doesn't always protect the delicate electronics. There's only one way to find out! In Missouri we have had a whole season of electrical storms but I have had no direct hits, just blackouts, brownouts and spikes. The Leviton whole house surge protectors (one for each main circuit box) don't give a protection guarantee but the individual units do. Gimmick? Probably. Just makes me wonder. I would love to have all the electronics powered directly from the dedicated lines. Maybe I'll have to man up and go direct. I don't think the Class D amps I have will notice the difference. The Modwright pre-amp might.
