have looked into a shunyata hydra 4, ps audioand monstercable hts 2600. are there significant differences. monstercable seem to offer best value.plan on hooking up an integrated amp ,cd player,turntable and phono stage. any suggestions and are they even necessary.
This question has been beat to death. There is absolutely no consensus on whether you need one, whether surge protection is needed or screws up everything, which is the best buy, or even whether there is a best unit. Try listening for yourself.
No such consensus. I live in such a place and my computer went at the same time as the surge protector. Later when I had no surge protector but had a Sound Application unit with the stereo on, lightening hit six feet from the stereo and did no harm. It played hell with nearly everything else in the house, however.
All surge protectors sound like hell and afford little if any protection. If you want protection in thunderstorms, disconnect your equipment. I do.
