High end UPS for Expensive audio eequipments

I have installed a whole house surge protector last year. I believe that it protects surge that comes from the outside power line. But it does not help if the surge is from within your home (start-stop of fridge, aHVAC unit, washing machines, etc). My power amp is direct to the wall, which is a 20A dedicated power line. The rest of the electronics are connected to Brick Wall PW8R15AUD surge protector, which is attached to another dedicated line.

If we’re talking purely on the basis of investment protection, Series Mode Surge suppressors are the only one’s I truly trust.

The technology is licensed by PS Audio, Surge-X and Furman, but Furman tends to have the lower prices.

A UPS often introduces more problems than they solve, and they are no guarantee of protection from surges.

Without prejudice to the performance degradation issues from the insertion of the surge protector unit and its filtering effects, High-end audio gear usually already has high-end quality build power supplies that do not benefit from any intermediary plug-in surge protection or power conditioners.

if surge protection gives you added peace of mind, then only add it as a quality build system-wide insertion by a licensed electrician at the Electrical panel rather than ANY wall plug-in accessory.

the best protector is anticipating a problem; were you aware of questionable weather conditions and ignored the warning signs of a potential problem?  

were you scared enough to learn this lesson: disconnect, and listen safely later, when the atmosphere is stable
