I'd like to spend 1k or under if possible if that's appropriate. Appropriate budget for the conditioner relative to the overall value of the system is something I'm totally unsure about. Also as lowrider mentions I would want to have surge protection as well. Reading through the archive links there's a lot of info there and a lot of disagreement (per usual). It seems like the Shunyata line is as universally recommended as you're likely to find but the prices look astronomical. I can't imagine it would be reasonable to spend the same amount on power as for your amp, even if funds were no consideration.
