This eliminated quite a few daisy chains.
In my main music studio ... I guess I should say, I have a nice heavy duty extension running from an old (normal power level) air conditioner receptacle to a heavy duty surge protector strip ... it has 1 power strip off that, and that 1 has an additional 1 off it, only. Not so daisychain-ish as it first sounded. Also, this particular receptacle has its own line from the main box downstairs. The heavy duty surge protector one stays on all the time, and has my desktop off it. 1 strip off the heavy duty one, controls power to my audio equipment (mixer and amp system), the other strip off that one, acts as an extension to the main SONY crt monitor and piano keyboard. I enjoy turning power on/off to those with each visit to my studio, at the 1st extension-power-strip switch. Not everything gets turned on at once. So far no fires or overly warm receptacles. When a storm comes through, I only need unplug one plug.
