BEST LINE CONDITIONER UNDER $600

I have been waiting and waiting to pick up a used Blue Circle MR 1200, but so far, nada... i am reaching the end of my patience... does anyone have other suggestions for a good power/line conditioner (new or used) in that general price range (UNDER $600). This is for AUDIO use only on a mainly ANALOG system, need at least 6 jacks, and prefer an ACTIVE unit with an ON/OFF switch. thanks to anyone with any advice.

It's not an active unit (no on off switch), but I bought it and feel I won't ever need anything more expensive.

There is a Tice Solo conditioner for sale on A'gon for $300. It does not constrict dynamics. It does not have an OFF/ON switch.
I own one and it's one of the best purchases I've ever made. It has completely silenced the noise from my apartment outlets. Highly recommended (no, the one for sale is not mine).

How about a 20A dedicated circuit for your HiFi? And money left over toward power cords. Happy Listening!

The Adcom unit was the first conditioner I had ever bought, back in 1990 or 1991. It worked well to my ears, with an audible improvement. I do not recall any dynamic restrictions. I have since gone through several Tice models, the latest and greatest for me is the Tice High Current Solo unit (now unfortunately only available used as Tice has closed doors). I recommend the Tice Solo or even better the High Current Solo. No restrictions that I can hear.
