whole house surge protector

Hi all-

I'm having some electrical work done on my house and my electrician is recommending that he install a whole house surge protector on the electrical panel.  This seems like a good idea, but I am wondering if I will experience any negative effects in terms of sound quality on my stereo system?  (I do currently have my audio system on a dedicated line.)

Thanks!

RE: protector placement - I was just quoting the installation instructoins that came with the unit. But the electrician told me this also

I assume the manufacturer knows what they are talking about🤔

Ans since we all follow the installation insrtuctions - I thought it best ot point it out😏

Regards - Steve

Just do it!

Had my whole panel replaced with dedicated circuits for audio gear but the first thing I arranged was a whole house Siemens surge protector.
