Shawn, what APC model gave you so much trouble? [/quote]

Hey Cam,

Well, if you have aftermarket power cords, you can't even plug two in side by side because the spacing is too small.

I'm thinking if you have aftermarket power cords, the spacing between outlets isn't the problem.

Ha ha, you would be suprised there young fella.

The bigger problem is that you are sending dirty power caused by your dusty floor and altered signals to your equipment by not having the power cords and speaker wires lifted off the ground. Don't let the full potential of those power cords go to waste!

I guess you guys haven't tried the BBigwyres and cryo stuff, as soon as my wife and I heard them, we were amazed. I don't really give a rat's ass if you don't believe it. My M80's haven't sounded better.

Oh, anouther thing is that APC crap you can't change the power cords.

I don't doubt you heard a difference. The important part now is trying to distinguish what you heard was actually caused by the bbigwryz or that of a placebo.

What do you folks think of whole house surge protectors?

Example

Whole house surge protection is the thing to invest in over surge protection power strips. It is your best first line of defense.

I'm trying to decide between getting the service from my local power company or buying my own device. If all things were equal it looks like buying my own device would be equal to about 2.5 years of paying the power company for the service. The power company offers some insurance with it as well (I need to verify the deductible). That and when you figure surge protectors don't have an infinite life span I'm leaning towards just getting the power company's service.

Do whatever you think is best. We had an electrician friend purchase the model he wanted and installed it. We did not have to pay for the latter.
