Surge Protection


Before I power up my new 2-channel system, it would seem prudent to have a quality surge protector. Recommendations? Thank you.

Bar81: Point well-taken. I am trying to avoid any "conditioning" & just get additional surge protection. Shunyata claims that their Hydra & Guardian do exactly that. Anyone familiar with these products? Thank you.
Well, here is my dilemma. I primarily want surge protection for my 14B SST (& other components as well). Seems like inexpensive surge protectors are of questionable effectiveness at best. The more expensive units generally include some type of power conditioning. Since Bryston does NOT recommend power conditioners which can restrict power flow, this creates a dilemma. I want to protect my investment, but not at the price equivalent to a great tube pre amp.

PS Audio, for example, builds the Duet ($295) which assumingly provides surge protection, unrestricted power & some filtering.
Has anyone had any experience with this product? Thank you.
