More Power issues

Help. I need power conditioning, and surge/outage protection for my studio. Right now I got nothin except noisy power, occasional surges, and crappy little surge protectors that allowed my MAC's power unit to get toasted. Any recommendations for gear? I read the post by Bob Rogers, but there didn't seem to be any specific manufacturers or models listed other than Furman.

Phantom Power DI Problem

Recording bass guitar at a concert the other day, the bass player’s amplifier gave off a suspicious whine when the bass was plugged into my Whirlwind IMP-2 passive direct box. The ground lift switch on the DI did not get rid of the noise. I suspect that my DI is not blocking the phantom power that my PreSonus Firepod is sending down the line.

Phantom power on splitter snake . a problem

I reccently rented a splitter snake from a local music store to do some live recording of a band. For some reason, I wasn't getting any phantom power at either end of the snake (split or main trunk). Is there something special required in a splitter snake to get phantom power to the business end ?
