Please help me understand what you mean by 'Power Conditioner'?
There are units with surge suppression and filtration to reduce noise and harmonics on the line. Then there are units which re-generate the AC voltage. This it the type I use and have noticed quite an improvement in the sonic ability of my system over the filtration/surge suppressor type I had previously. I do recommend this type.
New or used? I purchased my PS Audio P5 used and paid about $700 for it. Well worth it. It did have a flaw in the display which is common. But it does not affect the units performance and reliability. In fact, for the most part the display is off.
