This unit is only described as designed for computer equipment, and so on, with no stated use for audio.It has been my experience that computer intended units do not sound very good on audio components. The capacitor quality is usually ceramic, the inductors are common mode ferrite (or worse) chokes with high DCR, in short they do more harm than good.
With the 4 isolated outlets, there may be some improvement due to whatever amount of isolation the unit provides form digital components feeding into the rest of the system, bu the 'improvement' is likely to be a mixed bag sonically.
As to a stragey for use, I would try it with just the aforementioned line level and source gear plugged in, with the amp and sub direct into the wall outlet. There will be some 'umbrella' protection from the surge suppressort plugged into the wall outlets nearby, so the amp and sub will not see a full unattenuated surge or spike, but will not get full protection either.
Listen very carefully for a sense of compressed dynamics, a dull or uninvolving sound, vs. a darker background, and a sense of less background hash or noise. These are the two opposing things the unit is likely to do. The first is duemto the computer grade components, the second to whatever actual filterin it performs.
