Is a POWER CONSOLE necessary?
I been seeing the power console everywhere in any audio/video showroom display. They do look nice and showy but its cost a fortune to get even a entry level one by Monster as that the only brand I seem on the market so far. My question is that is it really necessary? Would a regular surge protector from Target works.
I've had a Monster one for 3 years...
I've run my system with one and without one for periods during that time. The bottom line is, if you've a modern home, with decent wiring up to code, and are not subject to frequent outages or "dirty power" from your utility (something which few of us in the U.S. are) then I see no need for the thing. You don't need it, it's a waste of money and strictly for "ahh" factor.
