Monster Regret!!

Good morning to the community!  Years ago, when I was much younger and a whole lot dumber, I bought into all the Monster cable hype.  I even went as far as purchasing their Monster Power AVS 2000 voltage stabilizer and HTS 5000 reference power center.  I’m currently saving my ducats for a PS Audio DirectStream Power Plant 15 and intend to install a dedicated line shortly. 

I am listening to Martin Logan 11As driven by PS Audio BHK 300 monoblocks.  I have the amps connected via a normal 120v home outlet.  My question, should I use the Monster Power stuff for my speakers, pre/pro, etc. or go to another outlet directly to the components? 

 

Many thanks!

Many surge protection devices sacrifice themselves to protect the products they're connected to - it is an industry standard practice.
Regarding sound improvement - there are many devices at many price points available. Different homes usually have different needs, so different power supplies many work better in different homes.
After trying MANY, we purchased a $20k Sound Application power conditioner. The difference it makes is not subtile.
