Power conditioning / surge protection

I have some decent Rega stuff. It's currently plugged into one of those surge protectors you get for 20 bucks at Staples. The odds are against it (and I'm insured), but I want to be sure a surge doesn't wipe out my gear. Also, if I can get a better sound by "conditioning" the power, then great. Although I have no way of knowing if there's anything funky about the power I'm getting from the wall. One hears a lot of claims, and I could easily spend $400+ if I wanted to (which actually I don't). So I'm asking for general advice along these lines - thanks in advance.

Ptss,

"Hi Zd542. It has been observed that some products have protected against "direct hits"."

Maybe. The question I have, though, is how do you really know is its a direct hit or not? Is there some way to tell?

Jea. No argument here. I guess I was talking about 2 issues, sorry .
Zd542 I believe Sound Application has had clients comment and thank them for this. Mind you they have a apparently have a serious mix for protection.
Anyone with experience with the RLS-1?

I just purchased a Torus avr 20. Finally in 20 years of this hobby I have an extreme improvement in sound.
I have owned furutech,hydras ,monster, tice and a few more that were a total waste of money. Torus made me a first time believer in power correction.
