    Default DIY Spike Protection

    Hi all,

    The system in my workroom suffers from very louds pops whenever the fridge, washing machine and cooker extractor kick in. I was wondering what the best option to get of them would be, before the speakers end up knackered.
    I found this on a trawl - http://www.dms-audio.com/node/4
    Looks like a nice cheap and easy solution for a novice like me. Anyone tried this?
    Would one of these Tacima conditioners do the same job? http://www.amazon.co.uk/electronics/...ct_top?ie=UTF8

    Appreciate any thoughts.

    Cheers
    Stewart.

    Yes the Tacima helped with the clicks and pops in my system caused by a tumble dryer . A very effective solution .

    Or try this. Costs peanuts and easy to fit.

    Yes, I've fitted this filter to several amps over the years and it works well.
