My concern is protection, my components are not the best but what I can afford. I love music and live in an area with severe weather so I would like to keep what I have. I have a Yamaha 7.1 receiver-no detachable power cord NAD cd player Fluance Sig series speakers Fluance Turn table Klipsch sub woofer Don't hate its not the best but works for me. |
millercarbon You don't need a surge protector. What you need- what is missing from your list that will make a big improvement- well it depends on what you have. If your receiver has a detachable power cord then a better one will make a big difference ...A better power cord will make no difference at all if his components get fried from a power surge. Your other suggestions - better interconnects, speaker wire, upgraded fuses and refined speaker placement - will also be of no consequence if his equipment gets fried by a power surge. Surge protection is worth the cost. |
A number of members here use the BrickWall PW8R15AUD ($279) and have reported excellent results in terms of sonics. And the writeups and specs for it you'll see at their site on that and other pages (such as this one) seem technically sound and are confidence-inspiring with respect to protection. I too used one for many years a while back, with fine results. Eventually I changed to something more expensive while I was making other changes to my system, but that change was not due to any dissatisfaction with the BrickWall. Good luck. Regards, -- Al |
Yep, the BrickWall was the first series mode surge suppressor I knew of. This Furman uses exactly the same series mode power filter at the front end, but adds:
but is $130 cheaper and easier to hide. :) https://amzn.to/2YC7NqD |
