That sucks. I gather that you keep it plugged in b/c it has a standby function and loses its sonic mojo if running from a cold start. (I had that issue with a Lamm Ref line stage- you were supposed to leave the power supply powered up but lightening strikes always made me nervous, and i pulled power during strong electrical storms or if I was going to be away). It took quite a while for it to come back 'on song.' I don't know and didn't research what the PS Audio products purport to do, or whether they claim to offer any protection.
Here I have a whole house surge, and run a large 10kVA isolation transformer that also has surge protection to the panel feeding the dedicated lines for the system. My assumption is that with a powerful enough strike, all bets are off. Surge protection can only do so much. You should add Jea48 to your list of electrical gurus. Hope you get it sorted without pain.
