Dave, very sorry to hear that!

Are surge protectors insufficient to protect sensitive audio equipment? We
have started to use surge protectors to connect all our electronics to
outlets, and they seem to have helped immensely. they have something like
$75,000 equipment warranties but i don't want to take chances with replacing
or repairing my audio equipment (what a hassle!) if something does happen.
on the other hand, i don't care if my tv gets fried :)
