Power Cable or Power Conditioner?


Right now I am running a AES Signature SuperAmp and AE3 preamp with a Cary 303 100 CDP through B&W CDM7nts. They are all plugged into a 'Tripplite' power conditioner/surge protector. Right now Im not sure if I should start replacing power cables (if so which ones first) or get a new power conditioner. Ideally I would get a mid level Monster Conditioner or if I really stretch a used PS Audio PS-300. (not sure if I can afford this) I would like to spend under 500$ for a conditioner (any suggestions) and I would absolutly refuse to spend more than 100$ on a power cable. (anyone have thoughts on Blue Circle Power Cables they seem reasonably priced and well made?) Long story short..HELP! Someone steer me in the right direction!

I second the above. Get an A/V Solo and as soon as you can get the power amp out of there. I bought a Tice PC3 power cord for my power amp and the difference is HUGE!

The A/V Solo is really good but it's definitely entry level. I use two isolation transformers in series for my digital. One is plugged to the Solo's digital outlet and harbors my CDP and another transformer which in turn isolates my DAC. It works wonders.
