Why whole house surge protectors are not enough

This Belkin surge protector in front of your gear rack is all you need.  Less than $45.

Did I miss the response to what we think about "Envionmental Potentials" as a protective technolgy? VH Audio has always seemed to be edgy, but grounded in things that work, and they carry their products. I would really love to have more protection for my system than the whole house Leviton I have and several Shunyata Defenders plugged into my amps dedicated lines.

Caelin Gabriel and Shunyata make suppressors for medical gear so I think they're a lot more knowledgeable than most people here.

Than most people here is not setting a very high bar but even then I am not sure. They say a lot of dumb stuff.

150 vrms. They use 140v MOV probably. Not doing anything till 240 DC. A big surge is going to be over 400V.  The datasheets don't give a lot of details. 

What's the controversy?  Whole house plus a power bar for surge protection. Seems pretty obvious. MOVs don't do anything to your audio. Crazy to believe they do.

The article I referenced in my blog has the only independent survey if surge protector performance I know of.  Furman and Tripp Lite measured among the best with the lowest measured let through voltages.

Interested in protecting your outdoor A/C condenser from power surges and brownouts? This package looks to be one of the best I've ever seen:
