In Reply to: Surge protection and power conditioners QUESTIONS???? posted by Time_Stands_Still on February 23, 2007 at 02:43:00:
I can only give you my subjective experience, but I tried a Monster HTS 2000 surger protector/conditioner and did not care for it. Although it has an outlet for amplifiers that is supposed to be non-current limiting or at least less current limiting, I found the sound unsuitable for use with my amp. Way too constricting in dynamics. Ultimately, I did not care for the sound with other components as well. I also tried the Brickwall surge protector for high current audio products. The Brickwall does not use MOVs for its surge protection. It did not constrict dynamics, but still uses an EMI/RF filter that does alter the sound a bit, though not dramatically. So far, my $35 Radioshack surge protector has proven to be my strip of choice for the moment. It also provides EMI/RF filtering, but alters the sound the least of all that I've tried. Will the surge protection work when I need it? Who knows. I hope I don't have to find out, but it does provide some peace of mind over not using one at all, though I've been recently contemplating that route and been looking at some of the products offered from VHAudio. I know some may say that I must have unrefined taste to prefer the RS surge protector over some of the better quality products, but that's what my ears hear. Its just my experience in my room, system and tastes.
