Not being an EE could not argue for or against Monster except on wires or interconnects as they tend to call them which I also think are snake oil unless maybe your talking 1000's of feet or outside runs, still....
My rule of surge protectors is buy only ones that come with insurance like the APC's (and several other brands) do or they are simply overrated power taps.

Most of this power filtering crap is just that - crap. Pure snake oil. $5000 for a power cord? Awesome. I don't want anything in the chain CHANGING the sound, for the good or worse. > > I just plug my amp straight into the wall plug outlet. OH NOES!!! UNCLEAN POWER!!! You can "surge" your entire house with a single device on the cheap that will give the same amount protection and "clean power" that a>$1K monster deck will provide, like here; http://www.dulley.com/docs/f760.htm > > I'd just get an inexpensive multi-outlet device that looks esthetically pleasing to your eye - and one that has the capacity to protect all of the items plugged into it (and avoid putting things like laser printers on the circuit). Just be mindful of any equipment that needs a 20amp run instead of 15. > > ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
