Good Surge Protector - Blu-ray Forum

I searched the forum. What is a good surge protector for my equipment. Everything is in my sig.

I am running a computer UPS myself. It's got surge protection, and also it gives me time to power everything off in the case of a blackout versus it just shutting it down. I don't think that will make a difference but with the money I spent on everything, I felt it was worth it.

I can't comment on a power conditioning surge protector though, but hopefully somebody else can give you that viewpoint.

This is a point of great contention. I use a $50 name brand surge protector from Best Buy. It works. It saved my electronics from a lighting strike that came down the phone line two weeks ago. We saw electric arcs in the air next to the screen, but nothing else happened.

Power conditioners are like sealing your asphalt driveway.
