Decent Power Conditioner in the $ 300-$400s?

Hi:

I am looking for a decent power conditioner in the $300-$400 price range, used. It is for my second system that already has a dedicated line, but only two sockets. The system:

Eastern Electric Minimax Tube CD player
Wavac 811 amplifier
Kcs custom made monitors
Hsu VTF1 pair of subs.

I don't have any idea of units in this price range. I use an Exactpower in my main system, but I don't need such level of performance in my second system. Many thanks for your help. Pablo.

Audio nut pieces is a fairly accurate, if not particularly charitable , description of most of us on here.

I also have an APC H15 I bought for my wife's TV. The Quintet improves the sound of my system even though I have dedicated lines and high quality AC receptacles. Martin Colloms found in a HIFICRITIC review that although the Duet and Quintet were supposedly the same the Quintet sounded considerably better. I bought my second one for $250 on here.

PS Audio Quintet is good; it is a filter and gives protection against surges. Most of the cheaper ones I know of make the sound worse, these don't. I just bought a second one on here. New they are $400 from Audio Advisor; AA has a return policy if you don't like your purchase. Look at Stereophile review.
