Power Conditioner for Video under $500?


Looking for PC, or Power Strip, recommendations for use with BDP, plasma, and DVR, for under $500. Using PS Audio PerfectWave AC3 power cords. Needs a minimum of 4 outlets.

Here are a few that fit the budget;

BPT CPC
Furman - Elite 15DM i
PS Audio AV Power Center 3000

What do you think? Insight, other tweaks,... welcomed.

Chang Lightspeed CLS3200 6-outlet model includes AC line transient protection.
right here on Audiogon here's one selling (from another member) for $200. List price $350 new. I have one at home but sorry not for sale presently.

I agree with the Chang. Monsters are very low end-even the expensive ones.

I would not consider Monster.

Why the Chang Lightspeed? Any direct comparisons with the PC's in my list? What about RGPC 600S (used)? For the $$ the BPT CPC looks to be the best-of-the-bunch based on older reviews. I'll probably go with the HFC-30 version. I was hoping for more definitive reasons to get a specific PC for HT/video, but as is the case the only way to know what you like is to try it for yourself.
