I agree about unplugging yet in the mountains they storms often come unannounced. In 20 years I have had two systems fried. First without protection, second with the best panamax online. They did help some with replacement, for example wanting to give me $300 for a 2K TV. A very dramatic way to upgrade!
where do surge protectors come into the equation
I live in an area of much lightening and power surges and have everything connected to one Panamax surge protector. with all the talk about outlets power cables etc, I havent seen any talk about surge protection. Do you folks use protection :)? what does it do to the sound?
