Something happened to cause me to lose two Panamax MAX 4310 units and an Adcom ACE-515 all at once.
We had a snow storm here in Portland a few weeks ago. During the storm, I was listening to my audio system upstairs and my wife was watching TV downstairs. The lights flickered, power went off, then came back on immediately.
The Panamax in my audio system displayed the over voltage LED and it bricked.
Downstairs, the Panamax and the Adcom units for the TV and A/V components (all separates) bricked.
What happened here?
Keep in mind that I have an Eaton CHSP ULTRA whole-house surge protector installed at the panel, which appears to be still functioning normally. No other electrical components in my hose were affected. Was this an internal surge from an appliance or HVAC?
And don't flame me for using power conditioners. I think power conditioning is BS. I use them for surge protection and master control of all my separates. LOL
