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 https://www.musicdirect.com/power/furman-pst-8-d-digital-power-station or this https://upscaleaudio.com/collections/power-conditioners/products/pangea-quattro-power-center

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!

I was returning a $1,000+ power conditioner I had been demoing and decided against buying. I was thinking there was no way in the world a $199 unit would work. But it did. There was a significant improvement in the sound. I would suspect the results differ based on how revealing your system is. But, I immediately recommended it to several friends. Order one from Amazon and you can return it if you'd don't hear a difference.
