    I recently added a Furman Power Conditioner PL-8C to my setup. What are the best things to plug into this device? I know that it protects against audio devices that need to be protected, but I'm curious about what devices would be best for me to plug into this power conditioner? I have a M1 Mac mini, Yamaha HS7 studio monitors, a self-powered external hard drive, a computer monitor, a Maschine MK3 (Native Instruments drum machine/sampler device that needs power), and some synthesizers that need power. My TV is also mounted on the wall above my desk and audio gear. The TV cable won't reach to the floor, so would it be best to just plug it into the power conditioner? It reaches the power conditioner fine, but my only concern is if a TV needs to be plugged into that, or am I just wasting plug space on the power conditioner?

    I also got a new Furman SS-6B Pro power strip/surge protector, currently plugged in on the floor of my studio (to use for more devices). So... what would be safe to plug in to this and what should be plugged into the Furman Power Conditioner PL-8C (rack gear)?

    Also... I've got two StarTech USB Hubs (self-powered). I'm guessing if they are connected to the computer they are automatically protected because the computer is protected if it is plugged into the power conditioner? So... I could get away with plugging the USB hubs' power cords into just the power strip/surge protector (Furman SS-6B)?
