Surge Protectors & Power Conditioners


I currently live in Florida so frequent storms, sandy soil (which is a poor conductor for grounding) and aging local grid infrastructure. I’m trying to deal with the resulting electrical noise, voltage spikes, and electromagnetic interference. Unfortunately with no basement, running a new dedicated power line is not an option. I’m looking at surge protectors/power conditioners as a possible solution.


I'm reading just enough to be dangerous about the impact of filtering on sound which is not always positive and the large power draws from amps that filtering can interfere with unless the unit has some kind of power reserve generation or some outlets that are unfiltered.

I'm looking for recommendations that will not require a second mortgage. The equipment I'm trying to protect/optimize: darTZeel 468 & 18ns, Lampi Aphrodite, Aurender n30sa and HeadAmp BHSE. Many thanks

@rpmpam  If you don't have surge suppression at the electric panel that is the 1st thing I'd recommend doing.  My 2nd suggestion would be to PM MikeLavigne  regarding your questions/concerns regarding right at the equipment. I am recommending that as up until a couple of months ago Mike had your darTZeel equipment and would be in a good position to discuss firsthand his experience vis a vis their power draws/filtering and options; and possibly additional suppression protection at the components.

I would seriously look at Inakustik power conditioners. There are cheaper options available. But this one changed my listening experience.

Fellow Floridian, A power conditioner and dedicated circuit is just the ticket. Do both. You won't be sorry. The improvement will be obvious.
