Unless you need whole-house surge protection, I’d go with one of the better conditioner/surge protectors (Audience, Core Power, Synergistic, Shunyata, etc.) because you get cleaner power that often provides meaningful sonic benefits along with surge protection. I’ve got an Audience AR1p with a Wiremold 9-outlet power strip that takes care of all my needs and no MOVs that’ll self destruct if they’re ever needed to work. The only thing I miss is that I can’t put my digital components on an isolated outlet that the larger conditioners offer, but for the low $$$ spent I’m ok with it. Best of luck in whatever you decide.
Conditioner vs. Surge protector
Looking for a whole house surge protection.
Siemens seems to be the best company out there but its most recommended item (Siemens FS140 ) is out of stock everywhere.
Here ia an alternative:
Siemens FirstSurge Power 60 kA Surge Protector Bundle
What about this product? Looks like a circuit breaker with surge protection.
20 Amp 6.5 in. Whole House Surge Protected-Circuit Breaker
which product makes more sense? Circuit breaker has some MOVs. I understand this can potentially limit current.
Do any of the above limit current to my amp?
What about a power conditioner that has built in surge protection?
