Not sure if this is the time or place to discuss power stability. Perhaps though, someone could set me straight on what the bare minimum should be for reasonable protection against nasty electricity spikes (i have had a wake up call here). I suppose there is more than surge protection to think about though. There is power conditioning (clean power?), voltage regulation (protection against surges), and backup power options as well. My Neotek was plugged in to a Furman PL-PlusDM which offered me absolutely no protection. Makes me wonder why people use these Furman boxes in the first place. I would appreciate it if someone could recommend a specific Surgex model (or equivalent). As always, finances are precious, but I obviously need something a little more robust here.

I'd really suggest a top notch surge suppressor. We've used the Surgex units for years in several applications (studio, lab- shop, computers, etc.) and suggested them to many clients as well. They are actually rated for lightning strikes. http://surgex.com/ Regards, Jim On 08/02/11, lonesome hank<[email protected]> wrote:Was a TLO74 in the Control Room Monitor that fried.
