I’ll give another plug for the Audioquest powerquest. I just bought a powerquest 3 on sale for my parents system. They have some Focal Aria 926. We all felt like the sound improved after we plugged all their gear into it. Especially in the low end. It seemed fuller. It’s tough to quantify. And I do worry about confirmation bias. But you get peace of mind, and a warranty to boot from Audioquest. And you don’t have to shell out more $ for another plug since the unit comes with one. What’s not to like?
Power Conditioners
I have about $5,000 invested in a 2 channel stereo setup. Marantz PM7000N integrated receiver, Canton Chrono SL596 speakers, Rega P6 table, blue jeans Canare 4S11 cables. Is it worth it to buy a cheap power conditioner/protector like this

Will I be able to hear a difference/is my equipment sensitive enough to notice a difference; or will a typical surge protector suffice? Otherwise, will it be a waste of money to spend money on a low priced conditioner?
Thanks!
