Servo stabiliser for hifi system

[[email protected]]

I own Audiolab 7000A amp & 7000N streamer plus a Denon record player (basic). Am using Wharfedale Linton speakers along with it. Am facing voltage issues. Last week there was a major power surge and my power adaptors for Routers & CCTV conked off, fortunately the music system was powered off. Seeking your advise on trusted make & wattage of servo stabiliser which can handle the load (if at all a servo stabiliser is the right choice).

If you want better protection, go with a static stabilizer. I guess one is on sale in the classifieds of this forum.

Any idea on the wattage I should keep in mind ?

If i am not wrong, even 1 kva would be sufficient. But, I doubt anyone make 1kva or lower capacity static stabilizer.

I was told by a servo stabiliser vendor that twice the total power consumption of all your AV equipment put together.

The static 5 kva on sale in the classifieds has a lot more head room with your total given gear. It can easily take the load if budget and logistics is not an issue.
For your use, even a 3Kva stabilizer is enough with sufficient head room with your current gear.

Just go thru the power consumption of all your gadgets in Watts from user manual.. Add all and multiply the total value by 0.8 for power factor. Then multiply by 1.5 times. This should be perfect for your requirement.

I would recommend a CVT. So going in for very high capacity is not recommended as the idle power consumption is going to be more and for any CVT higher the load better the performance. So keeping the capacity of the CVT or Static Stab closer to the total connected load is very important.
