Looking for a power conditioner/regenerator/filter
I have had great results with BPT, no downside in my system. Give them a call, their products can be customized for your specific needs and budget. 
Is NAD C372 Integrated good match w/ Maggie1.7's?
If you like NAD, the C272 amp and C162 preamp are a good alternative to the C372 integrated. No connection to the pair just listed, just a former happy owner.
