Power conditioning from the ground up


I am exploring power conditioning for my rig. I have read plenty of threads where the opinions seem to be varied.

I am looking into replacing wall receptacles, adding a power conditioner, upgrading wiring to a thicker gauge and dedicating several breakers for my set-up.  

Some questions I have:

If I had upgrade the wall receptacle but my in-wall wiring is subpar, will the wall receptable be redundant?

If you have a power conditioner but you have a cheap $1 duplex outlet, is the power conditioner redundant?

I am trying to better understand where my focus should be. In regards to what I am looking to achieve, I want the usual (blacker blacks, deeper soundfloor, wider soundstage, less grit, more details, etc.) 

Ultimately, I would like to achieve as close to a holographic image as possible to where the image is suspended or hanging in the air. Maybe the answer to query isn't power conditioning, I would like to hear your ideas for how to achieve what I am seeking within my current set-up if possible:

VPI Scout 1.1
Soundsmith Zephyr MKII (HOMI)
Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum (KT120)
Zu Soul MKII
Zu cables

Thanks,

Aaron

It's best to go as far back to the source as you can. If you own a home, have an electrician run one or two dedicated lines for your audio system. Run 10 gauge Romex from the breaker box to the outlets and use good quality outlets (Furutech GTX-D). 
Take care of that first, then worry about power conditioners, et all later.

Now, if you rent, and running new lines from the breaker box is not an option, then worry more about the power conditioner. I still think that upgrading wall outlets will help, even if you can't upgrade the wiring behind it.
I live in an apartment so I can't do any major rewiring, However, the simple upgrade to a Maestro outlet brought out greater detail and clarity.  Each step makes a difference.
Thanks jmcgrogan2, are there tests my electrician should run regarding the power supplied to my home (I own so I have flexibility) before looking to upgrade? If so, what trends or metrics should I be looking for in these tests in order to assess if I am receiving clean power?

Regarding the wall receptacle, I've read several reviews ("shootouts") with Oyaide, Furutech, Hubbell, etc. and each seem to have their own characteristics and presentation. The barriers to entry on wall receptable testing is a bit daunting for me as well as time consuming. So I guess I would be looking for a well rounded wall receptacle that does a lot of things well compared to one that may specialize in certain aspects. 

Is there a significant advantage to buying one that is cryoed?
