Surge Protection - 10/21/04 07:59 PM
Do I need a surge protector that costs a lot of money? I was looking at getting the Monster MP-HTS 1000 MKII but it costs $250! (CAD) I read the recent thread about line conditioning and I know that it is probably not needed in my case (we will not be using broadcast TV signals, just plain old cable) but it it true that:
"Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) are not enough to protect your equipment on their own."
as monster says on their website? ( http://www.monstercable.com/power/productPagePower.asp?pin=1900 )
If this is true then what options are their for surge protectors that are cheaper? What are the people on this board using?
