Re: Opinions! Brickwall surge protector

206.214.137.140

The Brickwall(Zero Surge) is as good as it gets from a protection point of view. However it is a series circuit that clamps down on a surge that exceeds 2 volts above peak line voltage 172 volts nominal and has an auto tracking series current limiter. These ciruits operate with only a 2ns delay, ie. almost immediately(important from the surge protection point of view). I have sold the unit in its parent company product name of Zero Surge and have used it for my gear with the exception of my amp and preamp. When I took my amp and moved it from the Zero Surge to the wall the difference was substantial since when peaks are hit the Zero Surge will just clamp down and severly limit bass, clarity, openness, soundstage etc, For all other gear it's excellent.

I would plug the Zero Surge directly into the wall and plug whatever strips you wish into it and plug all non power related gear into the unit or the strips following it. Amps Preamps or any other power cleaning or power related equipment I would definitely not plug into the unit or any strips that ware plugged into the unit.
