HiFi vs Cheaper Power Conditioners; What's the difference?

I had a quick question follow along this. Can someone let me know the difference between power conditioners like the furman 15 pf i (which I can get for a couple hundred dollars) and their reference line or ps audio p5/p10 or audioquest niagra (which will be in the thousands of dollars)? I just was hoping to get some clarity on why one is so much more and what it does so differently. Thanks.

Sorry, but none of that stuff matters. If a power conditioner, or power cord- or speaker cable or interconnect for that matter- is any good then it will sound good with whatever you try it with.

I have not used a furman 15 pf i before, so cannot compare. But I used a Brickwall. When I changed to a Inakustik power conditioner, it was like a transformation in my system. Deeper background, holography, wide soundstage, clarity, bass definition, are a few things that come to mind. A good power conditioner makes music exciting and lifelike. At least that is my take on it.
