In the mid 80's I lived in Monterey. The power company decided to do some maintenance and killed the power without warning. When they turned it on, they killed my TV, VCR and CD player...they also had zero liability for the damage they did, as is usual with any quasi governmental entity, as as one can expect for government health care.

My lesson, buy a good power product. Being poor, I got a Monster Power device that has not let me down, so far.

Thanks for sharing that!
I've been thinking about getting the Duet after looking at the Music Direct catalog. Glad for the reminder.
You don't mention the price, but I know the Grays are up there.
