Power Conditioners - Best Set-Up

I'm considering a power conditioner for my system and have read alot of threads about them. However, I'm confused as
to which parts of the sound system would benefit. Several folks have said that the amp, with its big transformer, gets very little benefit. So is a power conditioner best for source components? How about pre-amps?

Some background info:

I have a dedicated line and am using a tube amp and pre-amp. I've heard great things about AudioPrism's Power Foundation and Shunyata Research Hydra power conditioners.

Thanks

Lrm1ajf, I beg to differ with you, BUT to each their own. If you think just by having a dedicated circuit that your not going to benefit from a balanced power conditioner, you so, so wrong.And if you tink you got clean power on a dedicted circuit, your wrong again. I wish you the best of luck on your research, sorry I couldn`t be of any help. Regards, Robin

I do have a 60A dedicated line for my setup, I still need a pair of isolated transformers to clean up all those mains garbage. I am also searching for an additional power filter. Recently, I've tried the Combak ALS-777. It is marvellous. Every piece of musical instructment is picking back to its right position. I am going to get one soon.
