| Surge protector @erik_squires Thank you very much for the info. What would you suggest I use as a surge protector? @immatthewj Hopefully the electric company will pay something. I’m going to fill out a claim form. I’ll also check out the homeowner policy. | |
| Surge protector I ordered this right after the incident. It’s already been shipped: Pangea Audio Octet Premier - 8 Outlet Power Center 20 Amp Outlet I have an Isotech unit for my amps and a few other devices. | |
| Music first or sound first? I’m just now realizing how far down the rabbit hole I was. Whether consciously or unconsciously, the quest for good sound dominated my choice of what music to play. That very impressive, expensive behemoth (my rig) standing in front of me was ... | |

| Music first or sound first? @mahler123 Right you are! | |
| Music first or sound first? @grislybutter Unfortunately that’s a trap easily fallen into. | |
