Power Conditioner Advice please...

I would be grateful for advice from the forum with regard to the following:

My system sounds significantly better in the evening/night than during the day and given that I live in a busy commercial area it would seem likely that I need to clean up the power. 

Ultimately, I will buy an AC regenerator but do not currently have the budget for that. I am therefore looking at a power conditioner and which I hope to buy pre-owned for under $/£1,000.

Given my amps draw a large wattage (peak 400w into 4ohms) I am nervous about placing a conditioner between them and the mains.

The other components:

1.     Auralic Aries - has its own external linear power supply.

2.     DEQX  -  “Nine separate power-supply regulation stages  including four that provide the main analog rails deliver extremely low measured distortion....”

Where do you think I would be best to apply any power conditioning?

Any other suggestions welcomed.

Thanks very much

PSaudio makes some nice stuff and they are easy to talk to-ask questions. I have had the Premier and traded up to the P10. The P10 works great, but i would not plug a medium size amp or large amp into it. I found they sound best direct to the wall. Sound stage suffered when amp was plugged into the P10, but still a very good unit. I now use High Fidelity MC 6 Hemisphere. Made a big difference in sound across the board better than the P10. The down size is you give up surge  and spike protection. MC 6 Hemisphere is not for amps, front end gear only.
Good luck
