Good advice. Whole house surge protection is pretty inexpensive and can save a lot of grief. Anything electronic tends to be pretty tolerant of 'dirty' AC. Their power supplies often accept a wide range of voltage and frequency as input. Even so I run all of my stuff of value through a battery backup system, which acts as a surge/brownout suppression source and saves the electronics the pain of abrupt power loss. They don't cost much these days and work very well.
