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!

Make sure you run them in for a full day or so with a fan, TV or other appliance, then do several listening tests. The power conditioner may sound good with some components but not others. Verify for yourself. You may very well end up with one brand for the source components and another for the amps or subwoofer. If you use a surge suppressor, plug that in closest to the breaker panel, if possible.
