Has a Power Conditioner Improved Your Sound?

My system sounds great. When it is on and not playing music it is dead silent. I tried a PowerPlant Regenerator and it didn’t improve my sound. Actually it slightly constricted my soundstage. Like most audiophiles I’m always searching for that next improvement and wonder if a power conditioner might add something to my SQ So before I start auditioning any power conditioners on a 30 day trial I’d like to know if anyone has experienced a significant improvement to their system, what that improvement was and which power conditioners they used. Right now I’m considering the Isoteck brand. Possibly the Aquarius or Electra. I’d most likely keep the amp plugged into the wall and connect my Streamer and DAC to the conditioner.

Considering the Furtech

GTO-D2 or D3 as I only need 4 receptacles

or the

e-TP609 NCF which has 8 receptacles and very similar to the above except the enclosure. 
 

Do you have any experience with these?

I sent you a PM about GTO. I have been using e-TP80 and e-TP60 with my other audio systems in the house for over 15 plus years. My main audio room has GTX-D (R) receptacles and pair of NCF Clear Line Filters.

For anyone who thinks the Denali V2 might veil the top end, I can assure you, in my three systems, the effect was exactly the opposite.  It made things sparkle.  And as to price of power conditioner to price of system, in my experience, the Denali makes MORE of a difference in less expensive systems.  I think super nice equipment does a better job of dealing with noise in the power line.  Just my thoughts, from my experience.
