Conditioner vs. Surge protector


Looking for a whole house surge protection. 

Siemens seems to be the best company out there but its most recommended item (Siemens FS140 ) is out of stock everywhere. 

Here ia an alternative: 

Siemens FirstSurge Power 60 kA Surge Protector Bundle 

 

What about this product? Looks like a circuit breaker with surge protection. 

20 Amp 6.5 in. Whole House Surge Protected-Circuit Breaker

 

which product makes more sense? Circuit breaker has some MOVs. I understand this can potentially limit current.  

 

Do any of the above limit current to my amp? 

What about a power conditioner that has built in surge protection?

Years ago I found that the varistors commonly used in surge protectors tend to squash system dynamics. and do not allow them any where near my rig. YMMV.

My Naim CD player definitely didn’t like them. I can‘t really be more specific as I then removed them from the equation and stopped doing any more low power consumption A-B testing. Definitely worth you pursuing though.
