Whats better then PS Audio P300? ? ? ? ?

Hello all
I own a PS Audio P300 with multiwave and I am quite pleased with the sound. I have most of my front end plugged into it. My Copland CTA305 preamp, Genisis Digital Lens, Vecteur D2.2 transport all experience an improvement when plugged in to the Powerplant...( my Kora Hermes Dac sounds worse though.) The problem is the thing runs to hot for my room, and seems to be adding about $50 a month to my hydro bill. (the price to pay for a power regenerator). Can anyone recommend a power conditioner that wont detract from the sound the way most conditioners do? I've heard great things about the Shunyata Hydra (a little pricey though), and Audiomagic Stealth....any comments?
Thanks for your help guys

Guys,

I'm already using tons of power conditioning. I've got a Mini Stealth, Bybees, Shaktis, BC86s, and some ERS paper. I'm also using a conditioner with a huge isolation transformer(similar to the BPTs only it's not balanced). Would I further benefit from adding a Digital Stealth for my DVD player or should I go for a "Balanced" conditioner such as the BPT or Blue Circle Music Ring?

Thanks,

Rob

Digital Mini Stealth. It delivered, big time, for my front end...

I loved my Balanced Power BP Jr. II. I didn't like the P300 because it made my tube gear sound like SS--not that there's anything wrong with that! But I generally like the sound of tube gear . . . The BPT JR just gets out of the way and let's my VTL and Rogue do their thing.

Crazyblues, regenerators can sound harsh...

I had two PSAudio P 300s at one time. In fact I have had at various times 38 different filters or conditioners. I had settled on what I find best for my system and rashly assumed it was best for any system. Then I tried it is another system and found I was wrong. I strongly suspect there is no one "silver bullet."
