Power Conditioner/Surge Protector Options

Thanks for the responses. I should preface my initial comment about  ‘science’ by saying that measurements aren’t everything (at least as far as our science allows today!), but a basis for why an manufacturer explored a particular design should be based on sound principles and not just properties that sound exotic but have little effect in the audio band. I’m not trying to start a war between believers and nonbelievers, but science is at the base of the equipment so explaining it scientifically should be possible. 
Also, where my rig is positioned there is only one outlet so plugging the Amp in directly is possible, but not practical, so having multiple plugin positions is also my challenge which would be solved by a Conditioner/Surge protector. 

Ozzy,

I am open to new ideas, but I’m quite wary of products claiming to make enormous improvements when those improvements are barely noticeable or nonexistent. For instance, I’m sure Shunyata makes similar claims to Audioquest but some on here claim one or the other is the cat’s meow while the other (take your pick) did nothing or actually detracted from the sound. Who’s right and who just wants to validate their purchase? That is why I prefer to turn to a scientific explanation of the technology and why it works rather than just saying that it does and you should take a $2-5K leap of faith!….

Lordmelton,

What you say is true and fits in with my original point. My real issue is not so much about surge protection (I know that is in my thread title) but more needing more outlets for the various components. I’m Ok with plugging the Amp and Sub directly into the wall on a dedicated line, but that leaves no positions for the other components to plug into. The options are limited and results varied with any Audiophile type of ’power strip’ which circles back to a power conditioner and here we are again with which one works (and doesn’t limit current), improves or at least doesn't degrade sound quality, while not costing as much as an Amp!....
