I just started messing around with x10 a little bit in my house with an IR543 and about 7 receivers and I'm having a little bit of trouble with a couple of the lights.

I've got it narrowed down to my Entertainment center (probably my RPTV). Do you guys think that it would be a good idea to get one of the 15A plug in filters and plug my power strip into it that I use for the majority of my entertainment center, Or would you put seperate 5A filters on the noisemakers? I was concerned with the filter possibly messing with my home theater receiver degrading the sound quality or anything like that.

Anyone had much experience with this?

Thanks in advance,
Luke

I would get the higher rated filter. You never know what you may add to the system over time. The filters just consist of a couple of capacitors and chokes, the same circuitry (not rated as high and not the quality) that a very high end audio component would have built into the power supply.

Just as an FYI: I had a 5 amp filter on an 7.2 amp device and the plastic parts on the chokes have all melted. So the moral of the story is do not push the ratings of the X10 filters at all.

Indeed Mr. Klaatu (verata Nictu)

A non-x10 rated strip kills x10.

I don't have any receivers plugged into the strip, I was just worried about my HT receiver. Thanks for the advice.
