need help choosing line condtioner

The Tice line conditioners are great. I think the Tice Solo A/V can handle 1875 watts and has 8 hospital-grade outlets; it can be had for about $200 used or $400 new. Better yet, pick up one of the original Tice Powerblocks (the current version is III C, but the older versions are nearly as good in terms of functionality but for much less money in the used market). There is an A'gon ad (not mine) for an old Powerblock for $399, which would be a steal if it's still avaliable (16 outlets I think).

If you have a budget and want better sound, do dedicated outlets-you will get far better results doing this then any conditioner. The only one that I care for is the Shunyata Hydra (which is a little over budget) and it can have a very negative effect on the PRaT of your system-so in home demo is a required. But if I were you I would do dedicated outlets first, and then think about a conditioner.

Dedicated lines for a college student in a rental situation is not a likely prospect. Go with a Chang 9900 Amp (30 amps capacity) for the PA's & then a smaller lower-curent source component unit for the rest; perhaps the Chang 6400 Iso.

Consider Virtual Dynamics power cords. The power conditioner is built in. They also have a 30 day return policy if you don't like them.

Good Listening,

I live in an apartment and use a 3000W ONEAC isolation transformer. I also have a Tice A/V Solo, but it's not a good idea to plug my amp to it.

You can get a *big* isolation transformer in eBay, but it is going to be 220V in for what you want it...

Sedond is using two VE unlimiters and is happy with them. I would try good power cords (whatever design, no debates here...) and also try a Highwire Wirewrap. For $25 it's worth a try--I have one to help my power amp and it smoothens sound by removing RF grunge.

Going to parallel filtration is also a good idea--as well as getting some surplus isolation transformers for your digital gear.
