Running dedicated circuits; What next?

Im in the process of running 2-20A 12ga circuits; one for my Dreadnaught and the other for preamp and source components. Would I be better off buying a power conditioner such as a Hydra or a power stabilizer such as a PS audio p-300.Right now Im using a cheap Monster strip. Which of these would provide the most benefit. Thank You. Justin

I'd order Walker Audio Extreme SST directly from Walker Audio. Otherwise, order from your favorite retailer, for example:
Acoustic Sounds
Music Direct
The Cable Company

Buy the way, is there any cheap but effective way to clean the contacts before applying SST (such as iso-alcohol)? Thanks

I use use 92% isopropyl alcohol (which has no additives, the 70% variety runs the risk of having additives) with Q-tip swaps. Strip away some of the cotton from the tip of the swab for tighter spaces. Works very well.

The SST also cleans up quickly and easily with the isopropyl alchohol, too.
