I plug the HT stuff into a 2 into 6 wall gang and straight into the heart of Manitoba Hydro, not even a surge protector.

Maybe I should blow the big $15 wad and get a surge protector, but... I'm not that concerned about the solid state electronics getting damaged.

In fact in my life, I've damaged probably 2000% more equipment with static than I have via bad AC.
