You've had 5 posts on why your surge protector is the one to use. Point taken. But I don't recommend anything to anyone that I haven't used. I don't know how they work, what they cost and why it's better then the one already suggested.

Actually, the "one to use" is the one that meets your needs. Most audio equipment are not particularly sensitive to typical power surges (unlike computers) and most locations rarely if ever get damaging surges. As already said, nothing is reliable against a direct lightning strike.
MOVs are cheap and widely available and will do the job if carefully observed and replaced when needed. However, each small surge degrades their effectiveness against subsequent strikes, even when the hit indicator isn't lit. If you're in an area with frequent surges, and have sensitive equipment, they are not the way to go.
In my case, I had 3 desktop computers, all connected to separate APS with built in MOV protection and one also had a surge protector similar to (not the same brand) the one in my link ahead of the APS. A nearby lighting strike fried the 2 APS units plugged in directly as well as a HD on one of the computers. The APS-computer protected by the clamping device remained unscathed, as did the device itself. This doesn't "prove" anything as surges aren't always evenly distributed, but I feel better with non-MOV protection.
