As I understand it the RGPC units do not have surge protection because it is unnecessary. The function of the unit is to create a "bucket" of power within the unit to be made available to power hungry components. This bucket is constantly being drained and replenished at the speed of...electricity. As it was explained to me by my local audio shop staff, a power surge of any size just fills this bucket and does not flow through the power cables that are connected to it. The RGPC unit also conditions the entire circuit that it is plugged into in your wall, but the individual components must be plugged directly into the RGPC to get the protection benefit.
I am running the RGPC 400Pro and really notice improvements in the sound. They can be found for around $400 on the second hand market and I've never heard of one going bad, so there is not much to lose.
