If your friend lives close by, ask him if he can bring it over and try it in your system. You'll know right away if it dampens dynamics, shrinks your soundstage or dulls your system.
I've never cared much for surge protectors in general but my experience with them is limited and what I heard, I don't like. Simple conditioning can be done with a Blue Circle Thingee or something like it where all it does is attenuate noise. Even with that, I plug my amp directly into the wall, which uses a Porter Port outlet.
All the best,
