Power protection advice needed
heathen:
After a recent storm made my power go out, and caused an unpleasant sound through my stereo (no damage done, but I still didn't like it), I think I need to get some proper surge protection for my stereo. I'm not talking about a "power conditioner," but just protection from surges and the like (if it also happens to include power conditioning that's fine unless it's doing more harm than good). I'll need at least eight outlets (preamp, monoblock power amps, subwoofer, a couple digital sources, TV, record player). Can anyone recommend something?
Would something like this do the job? https://tmraudio.com/components/power-products/apc-g5-power-conditioner-rack-mount-9-outlet/
I was also looking at this: https://www.crutchfield.com/p_299SP8AV/Panamax-SP8-AV.html?tp=568
Any other suggestions are certainly welcome.

Dude, I've never even changed a wall socket ;)

I have two of these Furman power conditioners https://www.amazon.com/Furman-M-8X2-Outlet-Conditioner-Protector/dp/B003BQ91Y6/ref=asc_df_B003BQ91Y6/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312118595187&hvpos=1o4&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9455699856289224295&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9024249&hvtargid=pla-405660643648&psc=1
one in my tape rack and one in my mix desk. I think they are the best value for this sort of thing. 9 outlets total - one on the front, 3 of them are spaced for a bigger wall wart type plug.
Very effective for RFI/EMI and filtering the power in my 100 year old house that conveniently has modern dimmers wired all wrong to the ceiling fan in my music room :facepalm: . My playback is dead silent.
I would bet there are a couple on your local CL right now.

How do they do in terms of surge protection? That's my primary concern...with power filtering/conditioning a distant second.
