Surge protection for amps?

Thanks for the replies everyone,

Erik, funny you say that, I have a Furman 15i and was avoiding plugging my amp into it. I plug my other stuff into it (tv, AVR, Nvidia Shield, PS4). It doesn’t have SMP AFAIK though.

Edit: It looks like it does have SMP. Should I go ahead using it for my amp too? I'll need to get something else for the KEFs in another room.

I would.  :)

Actually try this.  Plug your amps in. A week from now, plug then back directly into the wall. 

Best,

E

I live in a suburb of Memphis and when storms come through we get a lot of lightning where I am. I had an electrican hookup 2 surge protectors right at the panel , and I may be incorrect but think that my Blue Circle 6000 power conditioner also has protection in it - I have experienced no sound degradation

I use Furman Elite 20PFi that have very tight non-sacrificial under/over voltage protection.  In addition I have whole house surge protector at the panel.

Does anyone have access to any objective measurements showing surge protectors and/or power conditioners actually degrade the sound quality? There are also different approaches used in designing these components so some may be better than others.
