Would a lightning strike damage equipment through an ethernet connection?
Power conditioner or outlet?
I have a Shunyata MPC-12a power conditioner. Read that it was a good choice for audio equipment so I bought it. I also have high end power cords to all my equipment, as well as to my Shunyata.
I have recently read comments from listeners that you should plug your amp/preamp straight into the wall. Is that the case if you have a good power conditioner? I will do so if it is a better option, just concerned about no surge protection for the amps...but also don't want degraded sound! I am asking this because I am a newbie at all this, more money than audio sense. I am interested if anyone might have any experience in this

If you want to understand the problem of contaminated power and how to clean it up, I suggest you study the information presented here. https://www.equitech.com/lifting-the-grounding-enigma/ |
First of all I would question how many people can tell the difference between one very good power cord and another. Second,If you share power with others and it’s not a dedicated line your own going to get a lot of stuff you don’t want in your system that will affect the sound. From other equipment like appliances in the home. With no protection from surges. I have had all the best power conditioners on the market my last one was an Audio Quest Niagara 5000 thay all have a tendency to chock the power of my Pass Lab amps. Just switched to PS Audio Power Plant 15 BEST Decision I ever made good luck |
