New rack or power conditioner

Hello, new to this forum. I am a long time looker however. I am in the market to up grade my rack, which is a 15 yr. old home built 1 1/2" mdf shelves and 3/4" allthread supports, and a Tice power conditioner. I only have funds for one item and was woundering what is the most important, the rack or power cond.

Thanks for the input.

what is your budget?

I have done both and both were big improvements. It is kind of the “weakest link in the chain thing”. I would do one and put the other on the to-do-list for a later fun project.

Around $2500 is the budget. I think for now the room treatments are fine.
The Quadraspire rack I saw on another site. I am not that fond of the bamboo shelves. It is not a hardwood, and I would think that the shelves will flex over time and humidity.

I would think a power conditioner wouldmake more of a difference. Maybe a used ps audio power plant premier for around $1,000 and some power cords?

You are right. At the time I got the Tice years ago, I don't know if it was what I could afford at the time or what the saleman was trying to unload.
