power conditioner

I am almost done with putting my system together. I have a Mac 452 amp, Mac 550 cd, Mac MT-10 turntable and a Mac C2500 pre amp. looking to see would be a good power conditioner/surge protector for a reasonable cost. 
The room I am using the equipment in is wired with 15 amp wiring. I read a lot  the Furman and Panamax sounds like they are the same company but the equipment is very different. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

randy-11,

I read many threads guys claiming that plugging their amp into anything other than the wall outlet "sucks the life out of it" whatever that means?

Otherwise yeah, the PP is a "magic box"

Thank goodness, I've never had one of those annoying hum/noise issues.

I have tried my bat power amp plugged into my power conditioner and direct into wall outlet....buggered if I could tell any difference so it stays in the conditioner.

Where everything else is plugged in, including the internet switch, plasma tv, etc etc

Balanced power recommendations are certainly worth entertaining assuming the OPs specification of "reasonable cost" extends to $2500 and beyond.

And what about the High End Munchen 2015 - AudioQuest Niagara 7000 video you posted? I listened (at 1.5 or 2 x speed) the first 15 minutes and didn't hear/see anything worth remembering.

Power conditioners always introduce warts that I can't live with.  I have top plugs, cables, and a whole house spike eliminator wired in the main box.  Sounds good to me.
