This isn't a consistent thing... in fact it's the first time it has happened here.
I do use a pretty nice power conditioner / surge protector - a Furman elite 15i. This doesn't have any protection against a brown-out though, does it? It has an automatic voltage shut-off when the power dips below about 85v... and I don't believe that this kicked the other night when the brown-out happened. My amp did go into 'protection mode' for a second though, so maybe the undervoltage protection kicked in...
How severe and for how long does a brown-out usually need to be for any damage to occur? What actually causes the damage?
Thanks-
