Basic surge protection with some noise filtering without strangling the amplifier?
I’m looking to get a basic multi-outlet surge protector that has some basic noise filtering and that has at least a few outlets for high-voltage equipment (amp in my case) that will not kill the sound of the amp.
Do those of you with practical experience and/or technical know-how think that that the Furman Elite -15 PF i fits this description? (From its own write-up, it does.) Are there other devices in roughly the same price range (<$1k), that I should consider?
The amps in question are a JRDG 625 V2 and a CODA CSib.
For one data point of comparison, I tried plugging the 625 V2 into a Torus RM-20 and while the sound floor did seem improved (from already very quiet to even blacker), the sound quality immediately suffered a lack of vitality and dynamism. So, the amp is not connected that way any more. The other upstream components (pre-amp, Roon Nucleus One, streamer & DAC) do seem to like the Torus though.
I am lucky. here it is very difficult to be in a thunderstorm with no signs before... I live in Quebec city...

@mahgister - On average we suffer 2 non-storm related power events a month here. From line work to automobiles to goodness knows what. |
Any concern about ground loops? I’ve read to avoid one should keep system on same circuit. |

Wow... Other country other climate i think... Here all is relatively previsible even the imprevisible... |
