Power conditioners


This had probably been brought up hundreds of times but each one differs. So is the case with me. I’m contemplating of purchasing a power conditioner. Preferably an AQ Niagara 5000 or a Shunyata Denali tower. Here’s what I want to know. I have all dedicated lines with high end outlets and covers. Furutech GTX -D (R) - Oyaide WPC Z2 amd WPC Z. Also all High end power cords. (2)  Shunyata King Coba CX. Shunyata Sigma HC. Shunyata Sigma Digital power cord. Also my equipment is Audio Research Ref 750s mono amps. Audio Research Ref 6se pre amp. Audio Research Ref 9 cdp. McIntosh MQ112 equalizer. Ok. Here’s my question. I’m figuring that it is not a good idea to put anything in the way of the amps. Heard some negative feedback about high end amps and power conditioners. So basically it would just be my sources and pre amp. With that being said would I still benefit from a power conditioner for the pre amp , cdp and equalizer ? Or not since I have all dedicated lines with high end outlets and covers and high end power cords. Thanks to all in advance and happy holidays!!

@knotscott  Ty. I guess like u said there are many variables. I emailed Audio Research and waiting for them to get back to me with their opinions. Could take some time before I hear back from them. I’m the meantime I was wondering what all you audiophile guys would say about that. I will also report back what Audio Research says about that. Happy holidays!! 

@hilde45   That’s a tough question. How bad is my power ? Is there an actual problem? Or am I seeking a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist. I would say that I am seeking a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist OR I don’t know about , yet.
