While I was listening to some music today everything plugged into the Monster Power 2500 went silent. The power center started to emit a noise that I figured was its way of telling me it give up the ghost. I disconnected all the components and plugged the directly in the wall to make sure they were all OK and it seems nothing else was harmed.

Now I want to buy another power center of some kind. I am looking at the Belkin PF60 . Anyone else use this one or have another they can recommend.

Monster became a Zombie, huh?

I think that's the one that a bunch of us bought when they went down to something like $150. I think Jay and Jack bought one. What? You don't remember my photo? Jack used to steal it and tell people HE took it. (Wait'll I see him in Dwight...why I oughtta...)



Mine's been working fine for me! Actually, I liked it so much I bought a second one.

I've had the PF60 for a few years now, no problems.

The total power consumption rating of all the equipment together is real close to exceeding the Belkins rating. I could plug the Rotel directly to the wall I suppose.

You equipment won't really be using full power at all times, or all at the same time... I wouldn't worry about it.

About the 106db's you were hitting while listening to Air Supply?

You may want a couple of the Belkins ... just in case.
