A third for the APC units. I have had the S10 since the month it was introduced on the market, and it both protects my equipment and manages not to do anything audibly negative to the sound of my system. Until last year the unit protected not only my stereo but all my home theater components as well.
I once read a review of the APC "S" series that mocked other power conditioners whose owner's manuals intructed the user to unplug the power conditioner during storms. That was quite hilarious - due to both the jab and the fact that someone would make a power conditioner that wasn't safe during a storm.
At any rate, the APC unit is fantastic, and with it you can rest assured your equipment is about as protected as it can be from nasties coming over the power lines.
