You don't need it, when the engineers designed your Hi-Fi components they took this into account and added the appropriate filtering in the power supply.iburnell said:Definitely looking for some conditioning of the mains supply if possible

I'm sure if you have made the decision to spend £162 on an extension lead you will probably hear a differenceprofessorhat said:this means you can try it out and if you don't get a performance upgrade that you would expect from the money spent (as others above clearly haven't), then you can send it back for a full refund and just get a standard extension cable.

I agree, surge protection is a good idea but even these can cause a problem. I was getting an intermittent crackle come through my Hi-Fi for sometime and it was driving me bonkers trying to find the cause. Turns out that it was the surge protector malfunctioningTimbot said:We had a thunder storm at work the other day. One of the surge protectors / uninteruptable power supplies got absolutely fried but in the process saved £3k of telephone switching equipment not to mention 2 rack mount switches and the main server for our 3 practices. I've got my audio equipment plugged into a Belkin 6 socket surge protector at home. Some people would argue that it will reduce the quality compared to plugging the bits 'n' bobs directly into the mains. You decide which of the above you think is more important...
