You can’t lump all Furman products together anymore than you can McIntosh and PS Audio. Some use series mode protection, and some use plain old MOVs. You are misreading the article if you think that all Furman surge suppressors use MOV's. That's' not what they mean to say. They mean to say they sell products with a variety of features.
The products Furman labels as SMP are clearly series mode, non sacrificial components. I make that clear in my blog post that this is the key feature.
PS Audio constantly changes it’s product line. Based on their current web products it’s not clear if they are using series mode protection or not. It was clear in models no longer available on their web site.
Only if you don’t know how to do AC analysis properly. If you believe this is universally true then you should be advocating the end to all linear power supplies.
Also, hard to tell if you like inductance or not. You seem to say that SurgeX is better than a Furman because they use MORE inductance, but then also want to take the position that all inductance is bad. Have to pick a side here.
Furman also ads LiFT to the strips I recommend, further lowering the noise floor, without adding inductance. That makes them better than a SurgeX, right??

Inductance is not good for transparent sound quality. It reduces current and rolls off the highs.
