As long as we're on the line conditioner topic I need some advice. I have had a Power Wedge 1118 as the conditioner in my system since 1996! Throughout all the changes I've made to my system, it has been there & still remains. It's a beast, weighs almost 50 lbs. I'm going to add another amp when I upgrade to Atmos/DTS:X when Outlaw releases the new pre/pro. Is it time to get a new surge protector/conditioner also? It has never failed me, but I have heard that MOV's degrade over time. I'm wondering if it is still protecting my system at the same level as when new(er). I have plugged a Panamax protector into the receptacle where I plug the Power Wedge into for some peace of mind. I tried contacting the maker of the Power Wedge (API), but got no response. Any advice appreciated!
