To power condition or not to power condition AVR

Given that an AV receiver has a complicated set of combined tasks, seems that external power conditioner might be valuable given all digital processing, but concerned about limiting current.  Your thoughts and experience in this topic appreciated.  Specific power conditioners you have had good luck using with AVRs?

Yes, for sound.  Video I believe is just passed through to the monitor.

With digital in the same unit as your preamp and amp you can't isolate them. However isolation from the noise on your ac line may be quite beneficial. Perhaps audition an Equitech 2Q to gauge the benefit.

To your original question, I don't feel your system will 
find any problem with the amount of current available from the 2Q. 
Countless studios use them with vastly more current draw.
