I have my surge protection at the breaker box a Siemens
then vh audio has a great one with surge power factor connection you connect just on your dedicated audio circuit .
breakers should be changed every 3-4 years ,unless you have silver plated copper contacts which I have on 2 breakers since the pandemic a5 industrial supply house no longer can get ,from Germany ,but by far the best $50 each at the time
regular copper oxydizes ,and must be changed for it corrodes.
