<font color='#0000FF'>I am in total agreement with Dan on Trripp Lite, I use three Tripp Lite power conditioners and the reason I still have 15 year old components running in great condition is due to these conditioners, they have protected my systems from surges and brown outs in US and now in India where the power lines are really bad, as a matter of fact they are sharing the same line with the factories so surges and the norm.
If you have invested good deal of your money in A/V equipment, the Tripp Lite is a good safeguard. Dont use Panamax or any other cheap conditioners as not only their protection level is questionable but they limit and compress the dynamics of your system.</font>
