Thanks for the info. I have been looking at surge protectors and the SP's for around $60 did not seem adequate and appeared to be nothing more than circuit testers.
I didn't anticipate all the extra money I would be spending on accessories when I bought the TT. I guess I was over thinking the problem and I will have to whip out the wallet (again) and get a $220 SP.
I kinda knew what your answers would be, but I just wouldn't admit it. LOL
P.S. One would think that, if surge protection is such a concern, it would be standard equipment on a new TT.
