Surge protection, no filtering, no regen please...

I've been trying a few power conditioner during the last few months, Quintet, Furutech products, APC etc... I found that they all changed the sound... but all of them got worse (limited dynamics or at least something not to my taste).

I know I can't afford a regen like PPP but I want protection.

What's your experience on something that provide surge protection but absolutely does not change the sound a bit?

Thx. Tom.

I think they will all have some effect on the overall sound. What you want is one that improves, not detracts.

HAve you tried plugging the amp straight into the wall, while using one of your conditioners for all other components?
HAve you tried separate isolated sources of AC for digital and analog?
Do you have 20a dedicated circuits in place?
