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?

They are not in series, they are in parallel. some (including one popular poster here) will tell you they aren't good enough. I say they are certainly better than nothing. However, I live in a location where I am comfortable with my amp plugged into the wall with no protection. Of course, I, like most posters here, can also afford a new amp. Power conditioners require some research and I haven't done it. I do know that some power conditioners limit current and negatively affect your amp (but not other components). Some power conditioners are good. do your research. I'd buy much more capacity than I thought I needed. Jerry
