PS Audio 300 vs Tice powerblock II

I have been using the tice powerblock II in my system for some time now. In the last year there has been so much talk about the PS Audio stuff that I'm wondering if I should replace the Tice. I currently run my Aragon 8008ST amp throught the Tice which I know I could not do with the PS Audio powerplants. It would be for the front-end only. My amp would be on a dedicated curcuit with nothing else on it. The front end would be on another curcuit.
Does anybody have any advice, or have you tried both?
Thanks for your insight.

Nrchy, just a thought, don't know what the Sota Star is, but if it is a turntable, you need to consult the literature very carefully. One of the advantages of the PS Audio is, that you can play around with the cycles in which your electricity hits the condensors of your gear. A big advantage, easily detectable sonically. If the Sota is indeed a TT, then its motor might be set at fixed amount of cycles per second and it that case you cannot use multiwave,or better not plug it into the PS Audio.

You are right. The Sota turntable has an outboard power supply/vaccuum and already regulates the power so the PS Audio would be redundant in that application. Good call!

This is all well and nice but which would you recommend for my wife? You see, I was replacing some outlets to the Acme cryoed with my PS 300 temporarily plugged into another outlet. My wife, was trying to help by vacuuming up my wire scraps and seeing all the outlets were full, plugged the vacuum into the PS 300. It was my last damn fuse. Should I get her the Tice?
