I had an AudioQuest Niagara 1200 on my system and it didn't do much for my sound. Moved it to the office system just for the surge protection. I'm a McIntosh tube guy. I just last month added a McIntosh MPC1500 Power Controller and it made the most significant improvement I've heard in my system, by leaps and bounds. Of course, it costs as much as your system combined. But, Holy Smokes, what a magnificent upgrade it was. Wowza. I love it.
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!
