Power supply to Amplifier

Heheh...a little input on surge protection for the non-believers, of course I pulled this off the internet. I doubt my wording would surpass it.

The primary function of surge protectors is to protect sensitive electronics and appliances from dangerous spikes in electricity. Spikes can be caused be lightning, turning on and off high-power devices, and rapid changes in electrical current flow. Surge protectors absorb the sudden burst of electrical current so that the connected devices do not.

Some surge protectors can only handle one big surge before becoming ineffective. Surge protectors with higher joules ratings can handle larger surges and may be better at handling multiple smaller surges.

Dang shame leat expensive ones do not come with fault lights, huh? :)

Hi Everyone,
Somehow this thread got diverted on power supply line in general (dedicated line highly recommended ) and Surge protection used by most. Also many or most prefer to lug the Amp directly to wall outlet. But not too much is shared or said as to if Regenerated power is good or bad. Is there a technical problem to use Regenerated power ? Elizabeth surly says not to use Regenerated supply. Some say it will compromise Dynamics ! Al says he does not see how , and I tend to agree with him .
At the End I like to continue with direct wall supply with my MIT ZII cord to my Amp. And yes , I do have a dedicated power line , total isolation from my home supply , and a Brickwall Surge Protection unit on my dedicated line, a servo controlled voltage stabilizer to to take care of variations .

Hi Radni,

Note that what I said was:

With a class A amplifier, which draws essentially constant current all of the time, I don't see why a regenerator would compromise dynamics. On the other hand, it does perhaps seem understandable if the amplifier is class AB or class D, where the current draw fluctuates widely with the dynamics of the music.

In the case of a class AB or class D amplifier, I can't precisely explain why there might sometimes be a perception of reduced dynamics when a regenerator is used, but intuitively I would not rule it out as being a possibility.

Al,
Yes, you are right . Sorry for not interpreting you correctly. Since I am using class A amp , I did not pay careful attention to your comments to class AB and D amp. No harm intended.
