Power Cord & Power Conditioner Recommendations

I just put together a new system:

Rega Planar 3
Rega Fono Pre
Naim Uniti Star
GoldenEar Triton One.R
Wireworld Oasis Cables & Interconnects

There is so much conflicting information and out there about power cords and conditioners and so many manufacturers and products. Any advice about power cords / conditioners? Do they make a big difference? Recommendations for this system (I don't want to overkill $$$ wise)? Also of note the Tritons have powered subwoofers which each need their own cord. Any input would be greatly appreciated thanks!

Cool thanks for the Core Power info I'm checking them out now. Any opinions on how the Core Power units at a similar price point stack up against the Isotek Evo3 Aquarius ghosthouse mentioned?

Can't answer your question, but the EquiCore is balanced power. The hot and neutral are separated from the ground and inverted out of phase. Noise on these lines is removed, then output with a new ground.
Same as a fully balanced amp.

You might want to consider the Audioquest Niagara 1200.

That's really the price point I was hoping for at least for now  - I saw this also - trying to find one for sale:  Shunyata VENOM PS8 - there looks like there used to be a music direct bundle or from underwood now -  Equi=Core 1000 - $1,495.00 Intro special is $999.00 delivered

I would look for a used Shunyata Hydra 4 or Hydra 6. Get the best 2 power cords you can afford - one for the Hydra (you can pick up a used Shunyata Taipan Helix Alpha 20a for around $300) and one for the Naim. 
Skip the power cords for the GEs for now (you will get improved bass definition by just plugging them into the hydra using stock cords). 
Your table can be plugged into anything as it just needs power to spin the motor. Your phono pre has wallwart power supply if I’m not mistaken. Plug that into Hydra. 
Just my $0.2….
