He may end up convincing me as well. Allow me to explain. My current power strip/surge protector is always tripping and shutting off power to my components. Most of the time that I enter my home theater, I see the little red light that means it has happened again. So then I have to flip off the switch and switch it on again.

I'm thinking that my HVAC may be the culprit, as the lights dim briefly when the heat/air kicks in. This would probably be enough to set off some kind of protection mode, eh? You would think I wouldn't have this problem, as the HT is on power through a separate circuit breaker box that was installed just for this purpose.

I wish I knew what kind of strip I had, but off the top of my head I cannot. I outsourced the HT stuff and went with what the local installers recommended.

Plus, Mark's nice pictures are selling me too. And there's the WAF bonus of a neater A/V cabinet ...
