Surge Protection

[spiffnme]

Over the past year I've spent way too much money on my HT upgrades. The purchases will more than likely continue this year.

What do you suggest to protect my gear from power surges and brown outs?

I'm not a believer in line conditioners improving the sound of my system, and don't want this to turn into a debate on that matter. I simply want something that will protect my gear, not cost a small fortune, and if possible - look nice.

Here's what I've got to protect...

Rotel RSP-1066
Rotel RMB-1075
Odyssey Stratos
Denon DVD-2900
TV
VCR
Cable box

This is what I currently am using. Is that good enough?

Since I love my Rotel gear, and like the clean look of it, I've also considered their RLC 900 Would that provide better protection?

If neither of these seem to fit the bill, what do you suggest. Thanks for the help.

hmmm...bumped from club rotel. I asked specifically about a Rotel RLC900, and most of my gear to be protected is Rotel. Oh well...I'm not the admin.

This is what I use for my HT. Monster HTS 1000mkII



What I like about it is the seperation of audio and video outlets as well as its protection.

Some people swear by Brickwall since they don't use mov's. Here is one that may interest you.

The last option you have is getting a whole house surge protection unit. Contact your local Electriction for info. Runs about $200 from what I've read. Then you can stick with your surge protector you have.

Whole house protection is the best option. If you have a GE breaker box they make a relatively inexpensive unit that occupies a dual slot in the breaker box.

Other companies offer surface mounted devices that go between the meter and the breaker box.

If all you want is a point-of-use device, then the units made by BrickWall are the best.
