need help choosing line condtioner

I have three amplifiers that consume almost 2000 watts. My adcom ACE-515 is only rated at 750 watts and only has two outlets. I was considering buying another adcom but my Parasound HCA-1500A uses 1000 watts. My other amps are Rotel RB-991 (550 watts consumption) and Rotel RB-956AX (400 watts consumption). IS there a line conditioner that will not limit the power needed by these amps and still have enough outlets for 8 source componets, preamp, tv, etc? Will it have sequenced power up? And here is the kicker...my college budget will only allow me to spend $500. What should I do? Thanks.

i tend to agree with tireguy. i'll never use a hydra, though, because prat is very important to me.

here's what naim has to say about power conditioners:

i use the strip of which they speak and have no problems whatsoever.

one day i'll be doing a dedicated circuit as well.

I second the Tice recommendation by Mcmanus. The build quality is superb on the Tice stuff.

I've tried the PS Audio HC UO (w/dedicated lines), and it just sucked the life right out of the music when used for the amps (Rogue Magnums). I'm keeping the amps plugged right into the wall for a while (forever?).

Audio tekne from Japan is excellent. I have everything including amps plugged into it. I can't read the Japanese but I do know the voltage remains at a steady 120. You can email me for further info
