The required statement of religious belief in earthing.
The IEEE guide explains, for those who can read, that plug-in
suppressors work primarily by clamping, not earthing. The IEEE guide
explains earthing occurs elsewhere.

This is why the resonsible manufacturers (GE, Square D,
etc) sell the 'whole house' protector.

The "responsible manufacturers" also sell plug-in suppressors.

Monster Cable does not.

w_ knows because he buys all his speaker wire from Monster Cable.


Never seen - a source that agrees with w_ that plug-in suppressors are
NOT effective.

Never answered - embarrassing questions:
- Why do the only 2 examples of protection in the IEEE guide use plug-in
suppressors?
- Why does the NIST guide says plug-in suppressors are "the easiest
solution"?
– Why does SquareD say "electronic equipment may need additional
protection by installing plug-in [suppressors] at the point of use."

For real science read the IEEE and NIST guides. Both say plug-in
suppressors are effective.
