I have a monster surge protector that I plug all my gear into, and I am happy with it. It got rid of my sub woofer hum problem that irrated the hell out of me. I don't know the model number off hand but it was only 100 bucks or so. It also comes with a garuntee saying that they (Monster) will pay me 'X' amount of money if it fails to protect my system. I'm not a Monster fan by any means, they make good "basic" cables but charge to much compared to other brands.
