Your transporter shouldn't be at risk since it has protection built in. Most other equipment should be fine, but if you are getting bad power you might want to invest in a protection box.
My first suggestion is to get a UPS. Something used to protect computer and network equipment. I've used both Liebert and APC backup systems. There are 3 kinds of battery backup systems out there so be careful to research what is available locally. #1 - Offline UPS. AKA APC backups. These are crap, they do minimal filtering and switch to battery only when power gets really bad. Sometimes they don't even produce a real sinewave output when on battery. #2 - Line Interactive. AKA APC smartups. These are good, they have better filtering and can boost or lower inbound voltage levels without switching to battery. Most output a true sinewave signal on battery. #3 - On-Line. AKA Liebert GXT or APC smartups on-line. The best. These units do full double conversion from AC to DC back to AC. They fully isolate your equipment from the power company. The only down side is the double conversion process can be less efficient and will probably cost you another 10% in energy usage. They also usually have a cooling fan which means you may need to put the UPS unit somewhere outside of your listening area. One option if you own your place is you could have one installed as part of your mains panel and have the room(s) that are used for listening wired into the clean power output. http://www.liebert.com http://www.apc.com -- SuperQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75177 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
