I also went to a couple of leading AV showrooms locally. There also I found that they were hooking up the equipment to raw power - had no stabiliser at all.



EDIT: Perhaps the conversation on stabilisers can be moved/continued here.. http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/gadget...abilisers.html (Voltage Stabilisers)

Man that surge protector is 8.5k + the 18k i'll spend on the pure sine wave inverter. Does the inverter has a surge protector built in>>> SU-KAM <<< Leading manufacturer of Power Products in India, Only Power back up company manufacturing world class UPS, Home UPS, Online UPS, Inverters, Batteries, Battery Chargers, Solar Products ?. So as you told above we don't need stabilizers anymore, then i can just do away with a good inverter.
