Audioquest PowerQuest 303
Power protection that keeps on defending
There are two kinds of surge protectors out there: sacrificial and non-sacrificial. Sacrificial surge protectors are more common and more affordable; they can take one big spike and safely dissipate it, but they need to be replaced afterwards. Non-sacrificial surge protectors like the PowerQuest 303 keep defending your gear even after a series of spikes. AudioQuest made sure the '303 can withstand maximum surges of up to an impressive 6,000 volts/3,000 amps. For reference, that's the upper limit of what a home's breaker box can withstand.
Thankfully, the 303 doesn't let such powerful surges through. Once the incoming power hits 140 volts, the surge protector opens its main power relay in less than a quarter of a second, severing the electrical pathway and keeping your sensitive equipment safe from harm. Once voltages go back down to a safe level, the '303 resets the circuit and operates as normal.
Filter power line noise before it hits your components
Not only does the PowerQuest 303 keep your gear safe, but it also helps it perform better too. The '303 uses linear noise dissipation to keep noise from muddying your system. That can help your TV deliver a clearer picture and your audio system clearer sound.
