ADD-POWR Wizard/Sorcer vs Puritan Audio Labs PSM136/156

I was fortunate to get a used Wizard at a great price recently and like the low noise floor that I’m experiencing with my system. I pretty much stream my music via Qobuz and Tidal and have both solid state and tube amps I like to use. I had no issues I was trying to get rid of when acquiring the Wizard so it’s just for pure audio enjoyment I ask this question about the two company’s mentioned.

Has anybody had the chance to experience both the ADD-POWR Wizard or Sorcer and the Puritan PSM136 or 156 in their system and was there a significant difference? Price wise the Wizard at msrp is at around the 156 with the 136 being several hundred below and the Sorcer at msrp is about twice the price of the 156. Just curious to see if anybody has any thoughts on the two and what similarities or differences there might be.

The Sorcer is compatible with other power conditioners with the exception of AC power re-generators, such as the PS Audio products.
In this case, the Sorcer must be plugged only into a standard wall outlet.
Only in this case will its full effect be of greatest benefit.
I have a PS P3 and I can say without question that plugging the Sorcer into it is a serious degrade! (Glare in the highs and blurred mids, lows cut off). I quickly re-plugged into the wall outlet and all order was restored.
