Re: Lightning......
Always use surge protection. In the fire/burg industry, I'm always seeing damaged electronics due to lightning strikes, so I go out of my way to make sure I have proper protection.

AAhhhh, summertime in S. Florida....home of the raging afternoon lightning storm!!! :smack:
I plug my stuff into a power conditioner that's run to a surge protector...and I still unplug EVERYTHING when I'm not playing. I've just gotten into the habit of pulling the plug from the wall. :dunno:

My amp usually stays unplugged until I'm ready to use it. The odds of me being home during a storm are rather small, and leaving it unplugged is cheaper (and more certain) than buying a good surge suppressor.

Re: Lightning......
Hey Terry, I've recently been having issues with my PC power conditioner, and between reading and tech support comments it seems that you actually get less protection when you daisy-chain surge suppressors. IIRC most power conditioners contain a surge suppressor, so...
Hope this helps,
Chip
P.S. That old wive's tale about lightning never striking in the same place is horse-puckie!

Re: Lightning......
The funniest thing is, the outlet they'd be plugging it into is probably half rat-eaten and terrible for connectivity, so a high quality power cord is probably about as useful as snake oil in your sockets :laugh2:

HOLY CRAP !!! :eek2:

:laugh2: Those audiophiles are a unique group, that's for sure...I've seen a knob for one of their power amps which is supposed to transfer the resonance from the amp to their speaker...no joke. A single, wooden knob costs over $400!!!!! I think the knob was made from godswood...:laugh2:mrid said:
