Power conditioner help


Hi All,

 Posting this here since there is no section devoted to power products. I also posted it in the miscellaneous section. 

If you had a choice between PS Audio P10 power plant and a Transparent Powerisolator Reference, which would you choose and why? Both available at reasonable prices, though P10 is still quite a bit more. I have a pretty high end system with a Musical Fidelity NuVista 800 integrated amp, NuVista CD (the new one), Scoutmaster turntable, SDS/ADS, Herron VTPH2, Wilson Sashas, and all Transparent Ref MM2 cables. System sounds great, but my present Powerbank 8 is quite old now, so I want to upgrade it.

Thanks for your opinions.

Inna....I've never had any success with power conditioners....yes, they all change the sound of the system, but all of them (and I tried many) created warts I wasn't prepared to live with.  You will never know what one of these things do unless you put it in your own system and listen.  If you can't do that....simply save your money.   (I surmise you have good power cords which DO make a difference...but too you have to hear one that works well with your own system).
I'm with noromance (above).   I've tried many of these, but they always add warts I'm not willing to live with.  Yes to good power cords, upgraded outlets, but no to conditioners.
Arsh....I have an EP 2050 that I had an electrician wire into the main panel after a surge took out one of my Vandersteen amps.....  The lights give me satisfaction that its working....the sound of the system improved...not dramatically, but an improvement never the less.
Try unplugging all of them and listening without power conditioners...just good wall plugs and power cords.
