A whole house surge protector mounted in the service box is a great first step.
" However, you also still need one at your equipment. I live in a suburb of Memphis, we get bad storms with lots of lightning and have had lightning take out the whole home surge protector twice. And you only know if it's been taken out if you remove the panel cover to check and see if the protector "indicator" is still lit

I have about $5,000 invested in a 2 channel stereo setup. Marantz PM7000N integrated receiver, Canton Chrono SL596 speakers, Rega P6 table, blue jeans Canare 4S11 cables. Is it worth it to buy a cheap power conditioner/protector like this

Will I be able to hear a difference/is my equipment sensitive enough to notice a difference; or will a typical surge protector suffice? Otherwise, will it be a waste of money to spend money on a low priced conditioner?
Thanks!
