Benefits of power conditioning

I'm just starting to build my first stereo and I was wondering about the benefits of power conditioning, should I use one of these devices? What improvements would one hear?

My system so far consists of:
Speakers: Axiom M3ti
Amp: Blue Circle CS Integrated
Cables: Straightwire Stage (spade terminations)
Stands: Energy CST-M 24", (filled with sand)

Thanks in advance,

Warnerwh,
Thanks for the advice. I'll check them out. I guess that at the very least it will sevrve as a surge protector.

I went to one of my local dealers to check out some options for power conditioning. The dealer said that my system was not 'revealing' enough to benefit from PC. That comment is at odds with most of the posts here in A'gon. He said that the only PC he has heard that makes a difference is one of the high end PS Audio models.

Thanks Hdm,. I think that the electroclear's may be somewhat similar to the BC 86 MkIII, but even cheaper. I'll look into the receptacles here in A'gon to see what I can find. The only ones I've seen so far are the cryogenically treated Hubbles.
