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

Hi 
my take on these surge protector etc.
 I feel it is good for your preamp,cd players 
dac,Transport.
your amp needs to go directly into the wall 
outlet.
i had a lot of surge protector etc.and my
amp or amps never sounded good going into.
Keep your amp in the wall outlet.
