Surge protection for Bryston amp

Hi,
I've had pretty good results using a Chang Lightspeed 9600 with my Bryston 7B monos. You could probably pick up a used 9600 or 6400 for close to your budget

Rgd,
I used to own 4 Bryston amps, and I remember them telling me that you should plug it to the wall directly, the power supply is a good one and it has a wide range of operation. please check with Bryston on this. You might save yourself some money.

I believe Bryston says not to use such things.

I was aware that Bryston advised that their amps should be plugged directly into the wall but this path offers no protection. Again I'm not looking for something to alter the power or sonics of the amp (have tried numerous aftermarket power cords with no success) but something solely for protection of spikes & surges. I'm very sure that the amp's design minimizes effects due to power fluctuations but it still doesn't ensure that it won't get "hurt" with a serious spike. I have heard of an outfit called Brick Wall or something like that so maybe thats worth looking into. All opinions are greatly appreciated especially those looking to save me money!!!

If you want to persue something like this, you might consider whole house surge protection right at the electrical panel. I had whole house surge/spike done when I had the dedicated lines for my amp installed. It was about an additional 200.00 to the cost.
