Power amps into surge protector/Conditioner or DIRECT to wall? Final verdict?


Just curious. I've heard for years not to plug amp into a surge protection evice. Does this apply to a preamp as well? Are the component fuses enough? Do affordable surge protection/conditioners exist that do not effect sound quality? 
Some of the mid line Furman studio units look nice. Plus you have the SurgeX/Brick devices that look like real winners. However, I'm not wanting any sound quality issues. BUT, I don't want my equipment destroyed as well. 

Thoughts please

I live in a loft that has 100 other tenants the power is dirty from a lot of appliances. Tried a Niagara 5000 not that much of a difference in the noise floor for the money.

Traded it in for a New PS Audio 15 Power Generator Huge Difference. Also you can call them with any questions and in most cases get an immediate response. 

My Marantz AV newest model 8805  went dead on one side had the dealer contact the company for service  14 days later still no response. ( this is off the topic put has anyone else had these issue with Marantz CS?)
