Ever since I added back-to-back 1N4148's between the preamp's input and
ground many years ago, I have never lost a transistor in my preamp. Before
that, it seemed that I was replacing it after nearly every thunderstorm.
A couple of years ago I changed it a little: I added a small incandescent
lamp in series with the preamp input. At the same I changed from just two
to four of the same diodes in series/parallel.
There are other ways as good or better than this, but this works for me.
