Surge protection for amps?

I have an EP whole house surge protector wired into the main panel of my house (after a surge took out one of my Vandersteen amps).....not only have I not had any problems since, but the addition, actually made the system sound a bit better.

I mounted this in my main electrical panel for whole house surge protection: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CONA1OQ/?tag=googhydr-20&hvadid=188353577421&hvpos=1t2&hvne...

Thanks for the advice everyone,

I think I’m going to look at the whole house option. I just need to figure out which one is best for my needs. Any thoughts on this Furman?

On top of the whole house protection, I might add it on the equipment side. Being in the Tampa area, I’ve been hit before and have lost some expensive electronics (non audio).

Asahitoro - I like the whole-house solution but having something in between is also an option.  Having been a Furman user for years (music studio, live performance) I went looking for something different recently and discovered the ART PS Pro.

It's (fairly) inexpensive, packed with features and if you have an appropriate rack, adds utility and features like digital current draw (in 1/100 amps), front mounted LED pullout lights and a rear gooseneck lamp with dimmer.

I've read recommendations that suggest that with power conditioners that digital sources (CD's, cable boxes, TV's, Routers, etc.) be on one unit with all analog sources on another (amps, turntable).

I use one to run all my digital front end including my pre/pro, DAC, CDP, flatscreen and router and even an Apple TV and it never registers over .08-.09 amps draw.

I've also not seen any degradation in sound quality whatsoever (although no improvement either).  Admittedly it looks like something that belongs in a pro-audio rack versus a high-end stereo system (it's subjective), but I've been happy with my purchase.

That said, I still keep my monster amps plugged directly into the wall so perhaps one of these of all your digital components and with your panel-based suppresser for the whole house, you'd have a nice clean setup for little $ that also adds useful features.

By the way - I'm generally a curious person so anytime I purchase a new piece of electronic gear, one of the very first things that I do is void the warranty and open it up to see what's inside; I'm generally impressed at the quality of internal cabling, independent outlet wiring, etc. for anything in this price range.

Just wanted to throw out another option based on personal experience.
