New rack or power conditioner

Hello, new to this forum. I am a long time looker however. I am in the market to up grade my rack, which is a 15 yr. old home built 1 1/2" mdf shelves and 3/4" allthread supports, and a Tice power conditioner. I only have funds for one item and was woundering what is the most important, the rack or power cond.

Thanks for the input.

BAT and Aeriel is NICE equipment. I suspect each will yield a improvement...what interconnect, power and speaker cables do you use? Also also room treatments?

Babybear and I were going down the same path...I think room treatments are first investment...bass traps and something at the first reflection points are a must to start...

Although we don't know what you have in your room.

I assume you're pretty handy with wood working..I'd replace the MDF shelves with a hard maple...for not much money...2-3 inches thick. You can then experiment with a few footers like those from still points or symposium...

Also, do you like in a home? Do you have dedicated lines to your BAT equipment? I used to own a BAT VK51SE and a BAT VK P10SE and a BAT VK 75SE..it was all pretty current hungry and responds welll...again for not a lot of money...If you have your BAT in the Tice it maybe restricting the current somewhat....

Just my 2 cents with out knowing more...
