Searching for Line Conditioner and Speaker Cables

Hi!
I'm in preperation of buying my first real hi fi system; a NAT Utopia pre-amplifier and a pair of NAT SE2SE monoblock amplifiers. Also, along with these components, the Ayre QB9 DAC. I'm currently using a pair of Monitor Audio GS10 speakers. The profits from my work will offer me the chance to upgrade speakers however this won't be for a while. Finally, I need to consider quality speaker cables and an excellent line conditioner. As well, maybe a very good tuner. Cables, line conditioner and tuner can all be pre-owned if each one is in very good condition. Does anyone have any suggestions. Also, are there any considerations that I ought to be aware of with respect to this project? It's going to be a fun project!

With that kind of price range, you could try a number of great options. I'd say check out the Running Springs, Shuyata, and maybe a PS Audio regenerator. A number of sites that offer new models of these with generous trial period options. I have also heard of folks who have really liked other conditioners in combination with the MajikBuss or UberBuss.

Just giving you the waters I have travelled, may well be great options that didn't make it onto my radar.

Before posting this thread the only line conditioner that I had in mind was the BP-3.5 Signature PLUS. Initially I had hoped for a chance to purchase the NAT Xenon but it only come set for 220 volts.

The sound applications XE-12 6 duplex outlets, so 12 plugins, it usually goes for about 700-800 used, does require a 20 amp plug between it and the wall. So that should leave you plenty of cash for your cables etc.

Sure enough, for me used is the way to go. As a side note, I can't find a dealer for Sound Application. The website only offers their product reviews and the Berkley CA. address and phone number. Any suggestions on where to look for this line conditioner as pre-owned?
