Re: Opinions! Brickwall surge protector

216.75.143.22

I've been using the 8 outlet version of the Brickwall since before they made an Aud(io) version. In several A/B comparisons over the years I've never noticed a diminution of dynamics and only a small (if any) filtering improvement with McCormack DNA-1 or PS Audio HCA-2 amps. But I have relatively efficient speakers and don't listen at head-banging levels. Never burned out any equipment either, but then I don't know if my lines have ever had a dangerous AC surge. Kind of like putting elephant repellant in your yard -- how would you know if it worked? Adding a Transcendent Sound Balanced Power Supply ($349 kit) made a much more noticeable difference -- blacker backgrounds, less subliminal hisssss.
