Power Conditioning for Origin/Onyx systems
I'm not sure how many folks here are using big iron, but for those with Origin and Onyx systems what are you using to condition your 220v power?   I know I can just plug it right in, but I'm a little terrified that a power surge or spike will destroy my somewhat sizeable purchase(s).

RE: Power Conditioning for Origin/Onyx systems
My system is using 110V (Onyx2) but surely there's a line interactive UPS you can order? I use one for mine with just enough amps.

You might need to buy something from overseas and have it shipped in though, if your setup needs 220V. Or you know perhaps invest in a data center size UPS

I don't think you need to worry about it, those systems have power supplies that are already surge protected.

I use power conditioners on all my music equipment and computers. They take the noise out of the line and provide stable clean power to the devices connected.
