Cheap surge protector that doesn't sound horrible?

HI. I figure I need some sort of surge-protection on my equipment. But, I don't want to get something that totally degrades my sound. I heard somewhere that there is a Monster Power Strip that is sold for computers, and goes for about $70 in a computer store. Would this do the trick? I really can't afford anything more than $100 at this point.

I'd sure want to protect against THAT kind of surge :-)

The monster will help with the surge protection, but will degrade the sound. $200 on Agon will get you a Chang which will actually help the sound and protect your equipment. Or $200 new Rotel has a surge protector which doesn't hurt the sound (doesn't help either) but will just be a good surge protector.

Save your money. $100 won't get you there.

An Adcom 515 ACE usually sells for under 100 and would do great.
