There could have been a short-term spike or even an under voltage that caused a problem. A friend of mine had both monobloc tube amps go down at the same time from some kind of power problem, but, because he was not home at the time (the amps were on standby), he does not know what was the specific problem.
In my area (N. Va.), I have constant power problems. For me, the concern is with the bulb in my RPTV (bulb life is significantly shortened by power outages that suddenly turn off the bulb with no cooling from the fan). In the past week and a half, I've had five short term outages, twice at night while I was running the set -- it is time to buy a new bulb because the current one is probably close to death. I am now looking into a balanced power regulator with battery backup.
