Surge Protector/Power Strips

I was just messing with ya dude. I do hope you get some help though, for whatever it is that is wrong with you.

Merry Christmas.

Nobody here is interested in what you have to say, get lost.

This whole bash from Weston is so full of slams and then has the nerve to get puffed up when somebody comes back with it. FUN---NY!!

Also, did you catch that his perfect power supply is a switch mode supply!!! Mister, if you knew anything at all about the pursuit of high quality audio, you'd know better than to talk about those pieces of junk!! You even talk about them operating in the RF region.

Yes, MOV's in plastic power strips are a bad, hazardous thing,as has been pointed out here several times before! Lowe's has nothing but plastic "protector" strips the last time I looked. Positioned very close to the pallets full of those hazmat bulbs! Both should be outlawed...and hopefully will be soon!

But your end all protector is also just a MOV based product in a better location. In audio, where you seem to have much to learn, it's not just about protecting from lightning occurances of every seven years that your so fond of referring to, it's also about taking away high freq garbage before it even enters the audio components chassis! That's a big part of what these various protection devices have in them. Some may well be satisfied with blinky lights or hard clipped waveforms dumped to ground when a rare monster spike comes down the line, but that's not what a guy deeply into audio is referring to when they like the results of having put one of these in.

But then it seems you know so much more than the dumb commoner here anyway. Maybe you should just spare us of your greatly superior knowledge as we're just the unwashed masses anyway. But then that wouldn't fit your predetermined agenda, would it??

Considering the number of insulting, condescending, technically ridiculous and rude remarks, then humor here is almost impossible to see.

Appreciate how to identify the most easily deceived. The most naive will not even provide one manufacturer spec number. But somehow know the retail salesmen is an expert? Same technical ignorance justifies personal attacks.

It was a simple question. No one could provide a simple answer. Where is that manufacturer numeric spec? It does not exist. Even the manufacturer does not claim what so many have posted. So many replies must be condescendintg especially when posted myths are exposed. Anything those miracle boxes might accomplish is alredy inside electronic appliances.

Nobody could provide spec numbers for another obvious reason. They automatically believed what they were told to believe. It explains why 70% also believed another myth - Saddam’s WMDs. Scams are that easily promoted when so many do not first learn how to think and question. And to demand spec numbers.

It's like being in a cave hearing a echo from you! You keep saying the same things over and over but you have yet to address the points made by the above members. :rolleyes:

I love Saddam talk inside an audio thread!

What points? Most every mistake is addressed by the only thing that provides protection. It’s always about single point earth ground. No protector is protection. Protection is only earth ground. That again answers so many claims. And if those claims had validity, then the manufacturer spec number (or IEEE paper) that validates that claim was also posted.

I only read myths justified by hearsay. Never provided with numbers. No supporting facts. No numbers immediately suggests the point had zero validity.

As best I can tell, every point was answered with professional citations (NIST, Polyphaser, well proven science from 100 years ago, experience in munitions dumps, telco COs, broadcasting stations), what is required for effective earthing, and real world experience (adjacent protector even earthing a surge destructively through a network of adjacent powered off computers).

OK. If some point exists I did not read, then post it. Ambiguous reference to some overlooked point saying nothing useful. If an unanswered point exists, then explicitly cite the point. Of course, provide numbers necessary to give that point credibility. To eliminate ambiguity, number each unanswered point. What points were not addressed?

Okay, I am done. I can see this thread is turning rather pointless and useless for the better good of CP in general.


Hope you have a Merry Christmas.
