Power amps into surge protector/Conditioner or DIRECT to wall? Final verdict?

I’m leaning towards a Torus RM 15. Trying to find a deal on a new one

FWIW I plug my tube integrated 50W PP amp into ExactPower EP15A. It sounds very good to my ears. Comparing to plugging into the wall, EP15A does lower the noise floor (blacker background) and voltage is rock-steady @ 120V and offers surge protection as well. Enjoy your Torus.

Tling58, you will not be sorry. The unit you are looking at looks to be real winner. 

Kinross,
I also have a Niagara 7000 which is great! I also have a whole house surge protector.
But, when I'm home and there is a lightning storm I still turn off the breakers and unplug.

@erik_squires , thanks!! Good to hear from you again. 
Yes, this comment is giving me "religion." I had mis-appreciated the risks. I have a question, if you might know: A local friend, some time back, sold some company's proprietary device to reduce power bills by smoothing minor fluctuations. The box was sealed, but I always imagined that it was simply a large capacitor, installed into the lines somehow. Supposedly, it was most effective where there were multiple motor-type devices involved. Any idea what type of device might offer such "savings"?

And just to ask again what you've already stated, either whole-house, or at-meter, both of these shouldn't diminish sound quality downstream?
