Power Conditioners


I am curious about people's experiences w/ the effectiveness of power conditioners. Do they have more of an effect on power amps vs. digital components? How about turntables, CD players &  TV's? Are the less expensive ones worth anything other than maybe surge protectors? Should you run everything through them even if you have other outlets available that are on separate circuits?  Thanks for any help.

I have a Transparent Powerbank 6. I get some hum when I turn on the low voltage lights in the room since upgrading the turntable and cartridge to a TA Zeus MC from a Grace F-9 MM.

I just bought an old Furman Elite 15 DM to see if there's any improvement? First of all, I'm not sure the Transparent Powerbank 6 is a true power conditioner or just a glorified surge protector?  


I'm going to have to do an A/B comparison between the two. I'm listening to the Furman now and things sound great but they also sounded great with the Transparent. It's just such a pain to disconnect everything and reconnect!
