I'm sorta in the camp of a $400 or, a lot more, "transformer/cleaner" is prob. not necesary for my minmalist set up here, or on the Mtn, where 99.9% of my "listening/viewing" is casual and not really critical. Nor do I have the hearing capabilities of my cats.
Not intended to start an argument; there are plenty to be read in that AVS thread. Jes' thought it interesting.

I would tend to agree with you. If your local power is fairly stable you would probably be fine with a surge/conditioner from Monster Power, Panamax, etc. That would put you in the $200-$350 range and still give you coax, phone, and LAN protection on top of clean AC power to your TV, DVD, and receiver. In the end, I think the point is to have the power device fail when a big surge hits, instead of our expensive AV gear. Spending thousands on power devices seems to have diminishing returns IMO.
