TheEAR Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 After you add a quality surge protector,no need for any additional filters.Additional filters por power conditioners are only a worthy option after you have a complete system and are 100% satisfied...and want to extract the last bit of audiophile madness. [] I am talking for the subwoofer of course.And even with a power conditioner,the gains may be not audible in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuzu Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 Suggestions on which surge protector for this protection ONLY application for a DD 12 subwoofer [investment of $1730], where the surge protector will probably be in plain view [to my wife] near the sub.

TheEAR Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Look for on wall surge protectors,a good 50-$70 unit will be plenty.No mess around the floor and works great. Monster has some overpriced ones for subs,there is another make I do not remember they make better quality on wall surge protectors.Someone here knows,they could maybe chime in.

westcott Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 In addition to surge protection do I need any power filtering? I have been very happy with the Tripp Lite Isobars. They offer $500K warranty, have signal isolation, and are sold for around $100. Most quality components have self regulating power supplies so skip the added expense for power conditioning unless it is really a big problem in your area. I also suggest trying to put your sub on its own dedicated circuit and use a well shielded subwoofer cable. Ground loops are the biggest problem with subwoofers so the added protection will insure your listening pleasure from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
