Good power conditioner for non dedicated line

Im puting together a nice little system to use in my workshop and there is no dedicated line possible here in fact it would be sharing with things like a table saw. I am wondering if there is a power conditioner that is more suited to this type of application. I've had quite a few conditioners over the years and they mostly all seemed to improve the sound to some degree. I don't want to spend over 1000 on this.

A Sound Applications XE-12 should do. They go for around 700 plus or minus a hundred or two. Six outlets for analog and another six for digital. Tremendous surge protection. Check out their site, soundapplications.com and the archives for more. I have one and would not be without it.

Get an Audience AR1p and a Wiremold strip. There's an AR1p up for about $300 now and it's an excellent piece of gear. The Wiremold is up to about $90+, but it's a great product and this combo will give you 9 outlets of good-sounding filtered power. It does not give up much to the bigger Audience units.

I would have thought that just turning off the table saw would improve sonics ;)

The improvement due to any device I could recommend -- like a large isolation transformer, for example -- would disappear in shop noise. A tranny would protect the gear from electrical grunge and spikes, though.
