AL wire is notorious for developing corroded connections and must be properly terminated to avoid problems, which include fire risk. So if you haven't done so already, I'd start by bringing in an experienced electrician to evaluate your house wiring.
Importance of a power conditioners versus surge protector
Hi everyone! I recently upgraded my stereo and realized that I have had trouble with power outages and some “glitches” on my tv for a while. I purchased a Furman surge protector but it is not a power conditioner. I guess while the surge protector may be good for abnormally elevated “electronic surges” it may not filter unwanted noise and protect my system. I have aluminum wiring in the house also which I know isn’t the best conductor. Is it important from a music quality and component standpoint to add a conditioner? Can you suggest a quality conditioner for under $750?
