AC Line Conditioners

I have a low hum in my B&K Receiver and sometimes my Vincent Audio amp. Currently at least seven components are plug into a Monster Audio Home Theatre PowerCenter HT 850. These include a Plasma TV and At&T receiver, CD player, Cassette deck, Bluray player, DVD recorder and CD recorder.

Would a good Power Line Conditioner be the solution for this?
Can you recommend one for me? Don't want to pay over 500 dollars.
I see some go for 3,000 dollars ex. PS Audio Perfectwave Power Plant 5.
Maybe I can get a used one with good features.

Disconnected the cable feed (from wall to power strip )and low hum still present in amp and CD player(sleep mode). Funny thing when I picked up the power strip to disconnect the cable feed, I noticed a high pitch noise coming from what seemed to be the power strip. The noise comes and goes according to what position the strip is in. I elevated the strip on a plastic case whereas now high pitch noise is present. But still the low hum is in Amp and receiver.I will check on the ground loop isolater.
Will At&T re-ground if I mention my issue to them and it's not TV related?

Thanks
