Alternatives To Power Conditioning In A Revamped System

So over the last 4 years or so I have been content using a PS Audio P10 regenerator in my system. It worked well with a Musical Fidelity Nuvista M3, and with a H2O amp, and Plinius pre amp. 

Recently I acquired a Halcro DM8 pre amp, and recently a pair of AVM Audio Essential amps. What I have found is that the AVM amps prefer to plugged directly into the wall and not the P10. I then took the DM8 to a power strip just to get it off the P10. I got another improvement. 

So it looks like my current system configuration  no longer agrees with the AC Regenerator. I suspect the amps should stay plugged into the wall, and perhaps the DM8 also. 

So what would be good options for source components, as I use an Esoteric E-02 phono stage, a Graham Slee Accession and an Audio Magic DAC. I would be open to changing power cords also. 

I am currently considering acquiring some cabling from Grover Huffman, as I need to reposition gear. 

Certainly would be interested in hearing others thoughts and opinions and experiences!

I use one in my system to eliminate distortion and correct the wave. I also use an Emotiva CMX-2 to filter DC on the line. I’ve tried many others and this combo sounds excellent and doesn’t hurt dynamics. I also use a dedicated 20 amp line with a Porter Port.
