Invest in a whole house surge protector. Sometimes called secondary
surge protector or arrestor. It is installed at the breaker panel,
preferably by a licensed electrician. These are available at electrical
supply houses and big box hardware stores, Lowe's, Home Depot, Minnards
and such. Usually cost about $25 to $45.
From lightning surge events, be sure all services, i.e. Cable,
Telephone, Electrical, and ham radio equipment grounds are ALL bonded
together outside of the house. Single driven grounds, not bonded to
all others, are an invitation to trouble. Besides, it is a requirement
of NEC.

Between my radio equipment and even more

like to pick up the best power strips to
mitigate electrical damage. To wit,
something fried both my Klipsch Chorus
tweeters but left the mids & whoofers OK.
This likely spike could have taken out the
preamp or the amp, maybe the OLED TV so I
consider myself lucky.
So I'd like to get the best last line of
protection I can get. Local solutions are
at Best Buy but I'm figuring there's
something better than they sell there.
Suggestions?
Thanks & 73,
