I live in Miami Beach. I live in a newer house (2015). We get lightning and storms all the time in the summer and a lightning strike blew my preamp and I had to send it in for repairs. I then put a whole house surge protector in at the breaker panel and no more problems. A cheap insurance policy to protect your equipment!
Surge protectors and power conditioners - Good idea or bad?
Years ago, I bought added surge protectors and a power conditioner to my system, including surge protectors/ power filters to my Martin Logans.
Recently I revisited this idea and discovered that many people say to avoid the above, given it's rare to get hit by lighting and blow out your components and that both surge protectors and power conditioners can negatively impact overall sound.
Thoughts?
