Anyone using a Whole House Surge Suppressor ???
Do they affect sound quality vs. not using one ???
Here’s the blurb I found for the APC: “APC’s Residential Surge Suppressors are the first line of defense against damaging electrical surges and spikes that originate outside your home. They are installed by an electrician at your circuit breaker panel and safely reduce the severity of power transients caused by utility accidents, power outages and lightning. Always use APC line cord surge suppressors in conjunction with Whole House Surge Suppressors for maximum protection of your computers, audio/video components and other electronic devices.”
Questions:
1. Parasound recommends plugging my A51 and A21 amps directly into the wall outlet for the cleanest possible sound quality – and I tested this vs. my Monster Power Center and when plugged directly into the wall outlet the sound is cleaner and more dynamic sounding – BUT, the thought of NOT having protection, and lightning possibly zapping my amps is a very scary thought at best, so I’m wondering if one of these Whole House Surge Suppressors is possibly a solution ???
2. Is there a unit on the market that DOES NOT affect sound quality but DOES protect against lightning ???
