Well, it's worked fine all week, so it was probably a slight brownout causing it when the fridge compressor cut in (It's ancient, I really need a new one.)

Well the vacuum cut it out again today. A2, stereo and PC is on battery backup, TV and Blu Ray on Surge protection. Think I'll dig up a line filter...

I had the sensitivity down at low, I've brought it up to high and I'll see if that makes a difference.

Tomorrow I'm going to find the highest capacity 25V cap I can find and it it on the output of the adapter, maybe slap on a 0.1uF and a TVS too for good measure.

Still does it. But I'm thinking I may have an evil scientist approach to overkill this problem once and for all, muahahahahahaha. If the UPS is too slow to react to the brownout that's causing the issue, I'll just power the A2 off a 12V lead acid battery, hooked up to a commercial charger, both of which have been sitting around the house for ages.
