If I take the cable that comes out of my wall and run it through the surge protector and then to my digital box will it hurt my HD signal? In other words; does a surge protector do anything to HD signals if used before the box? HD guru,

I am sure this is due to very dirty power. My amps are 90watt tube units (kt88) and I use a digital media device with a crappy power supply that was included in the box 5.2v 2A I've been looking at power line conditioners and I'm not sure of the amps needed. If I compare some of the audiophile equipment specs then I need about 500-1000watts and 15 amps. These audiophile units are regenerating and correcting power. Do I really need a 15amp unit?! 90+90watt=180/120v=1.6amp???right?/? anyway I need some tutoring on this any ideas? I was looking at an older Juice Goose 300P or power-Matic Line conditioner 1kVA LC-3150 constant voltage. HDG,

I have a Samsung LCD 46' 120 Hz television. The salesman I was dealing with stated that using a "power line conditioner" from Monster would do so. I can't find any information that supports this. Please advise. Thanks Does using a “power line conditioner” extend the life of your television? I have a Samsung LCD 46′ 120 Hz television.

When i turn on my audio receiver, the TV shuts down and start blinking green lights. I'm assuming this is a power issue, but wondering if it may be something else. I have a surge protector, but wondering if a more expensive UPS is necessary to fix this or some other device. And ideas? I have a Sony 50” 2020, but having a problem.

Richard Grey Power Company is a very good one. Crt have large power supplies compared to flat panels. I have seen a demo where black levels improved on crt,when using a power conditioner. Switching to a heavier gauge power cord to your amplifier may improve the picture. CRT televisions seem to benefit more from power conditioners. Richard Grey Power Company is a very good one.
