Tripp Lite SS7415-15 Multiple Outlet Strip w/ Surge Protection 15-Amp 16 outlets 15ft Cord 450 Joules Review

I needed a new power strip for my home theater after adding a HTPC. I was previously using an old Monster PowerCenter HTS 2000 that I got for free several years ago and an APC office surge strip. I did a lot of research on various power centers, conditioners from Belkin, Panamax, Monster, Furman, APC and more. After encountering a lot of the same bizarre pseudo science and hand-waving one encounters in audiophilia and consulting with a couple of A/V professionals (not salespeople) I decided to skip that whole thing and just get a really high quality surge protector.

I've seen Tripp-Lite surge protectors in server rooms and IT workbenches for years and the form factor was appealing because it's about the most compact way to connect that many devices and still have room for all the various power bricks and adapters. So I took a chance and ordered this. I nearly got the 24-outlet Tripp Lite SS7619-15 Multiple Outlet Strip w/ Surge Protection 15-Amp 16 outlets 15ft Cord 450 Joules but I came back to my senses once I realized that my A/V rack is 48" wide and the larger version is a full six feet long.

In use it's actually very convenient to be able to group power plugs with all the space you have. I'm using 9 of the outlets now. As far as my sound and picture it's the same as when I used my fancy Monster strip which is exactly what I expected.

My one caveat with this thing is that it's not very friendly to home environments if you're concerned about hiding it. It's a full 4 feet long, the power cord is black and very thick. It works great behind a piece of furniture and the shape means it takes up less space than "side by side" models.
