I just use a simple PL-plus furman power conditioner (cost me $80). furman power conditioners are used in pro audio. furman offers several inexpensive models.

One thing regarding power outings-- it isn't only what happens when the power goes out---say a transformer goes out in your area--- the problem is also when the power returns,slowly--takes a few seconds or minutes to come full-on.Using the avs2000,I have to manually turn the system back on after an interruption.

Agreed with many on this post, best results for me were obtained going directly thru the AC outlet (properly polarized/earth - insoleted, mains direct).

I remember burnin a Power Wedge AC unit plugging my Gryphon amp to it.. too much to handle!!!
