I have exactly the same question for my amps. I am glad you posed it and look forward to the responses.
Does a good sounding surge protector exist?
My and my friends are searching for an elusive product, a surge protector that doesn't limit the dynamics of the music. Between us, we've tried quite a few, Chang, PS Audio (Quintet, UPC, PPP), Equitech, SurgeX, Richard Gray, APS Purepower etc. However, if its a good surge protector without MOVs, eg, SurgeX it severly limits the sound - dynamics and soundstage are compressed, highs cut off...
If it doesn't limit the dynamics significantly, its surge protection is questionable at best eg., Richard Gray, Chang, PSA Quintet. Is there something out there that will protect our gear without making it sound like mid-fi crap? I open the floor...

Sounds like you didn't invest in dedicated lines first. I've owned/own PS Audio passive products (Director, ultimate outlet) and I have never had limited dynamics using these products with extreme amp power draw. I have used regenerators and balanced power units (see my systems) and still as long as I have been plugged into dedicated outlets have never had a problem. PS.... if you don't have a good ground everything else is pointless.. Sounds like you have another problem with your system.. isolation, acoustics, or you just need better amplification (remember double power only give you 3dB) |
Have you tried the Worldpower PowerWing by Alan Kafton, the creator of the Cable Cooker, http://www.audioexcellenceaz.com/? Check one out, he has audition units to try, I believe that you'll be glad that you did. Chuck |
