A power conditioner is usually just a band-aid unless you spend big bucks on some of the units out there, but we're talking good used CD player money, not the $200 a Panamax costs. BTW, your max 1000 will do nothing to clean up your power. It's just a surge protector. Spend the money on running a dedicated circuit instead.
re: Panamax:: 3 months ago mine gave its life to protect some of my gear and Panamax upgraded me at very little cost to a better and current model at my request so I didn't have to wait for the free repair. If a Panamax goes down, the breaker will trip. Don't turn the breaker back on with the Panamax plugged in after giving it the once over externally and thinking it is OK, or one of the capacitors inside the Panamax will go BOOM and scare the dogs.
