Surge protectors--how many $ make sense?

That’s a good starting point and should give you a good perspective on how a power conditioner works in your system. If you like what you hear then V16 + whole surge protection device in your main breaker box should set you up nicely.

lalitk, I hear you on the box surge protector. I'm not sure that will come soon, though. I have to work my budget out with my wife, and I've spent $18K on new speakers, $4K on a Moon streamer, and $3K on a surge protector/power conditioner, if I like the Shunyata. I have never spent that kind of money all in one fell swoop before. I don't know how the rest of you married follk deal with spouses, but if I were left to my own devices, without a budget, I would spend so much money that in the end even I would think it was foolish. But I will look into the power boxes surge protectors. I have three boxes now, but one I think is the main one. I'd have to ask an electrician. But again, there is a lot of diplomacy to being a married audiophile.

I hear you, for many of us; it’s a balancing act—pursuing your passion for high-fidelity sound while keeping harmony at home. Ultimately, it’s about finding that sweet spot where your passion and your partnership coexist harmoniously. 

As for the surge protector and power conditioning, they are two sides of a coin. Whenever you are ready, consult an electrician and plan for installation.
