However what is a "filtered mains strip"? Is that the same as a Surge Protector? My machine is in a room where there is only one socket - i'm using a 4 socket surge protector and extension. From the electrical side i can't see how a surge protector can affect it. No problems with 7 months use.
We often find that homeplugs work fine through surge protectors, but not sufficiently often that we would say it works in general.
I don't have any technical details to back up that anecdotal advice, though.
