Power Cord & Power Conditioner Recommendations

A lot of great information for me to do follow-up research on thanks so much for the input guys!

Very interesting video - now I can't tell if I'm more or less confused. Is there a valid rebuttal to this?  

Awesome thanks for all the info - so it seems all things considered the fact that I have an older house plus the cost / benefit realities would make power conditioning the priority for sound quality and equipment protection - then budget for power cords later. With the 2 powered subs in the tritons plus all other components I will need 5 power cords which is too expensive for me to buy all at once along with the conditioning. Would the conditioner be a product I should buy new (typically I buy demo equipment) to have an equipment protection warranty, etc.? Also assuming the blue book value of the components totals 12k or so what be a reasonable price cap for the conditioner?

I'd like to spend 1k or under if possible if that's appropriate. Appropriate budget for the conditioner relative to the overall value of the system is something I'm totally unsure about.  Also as lowrider mentions I would want to have surge protection as well. Reading through the archive links there's a lot of info there and a lot of disagreement (per usual). It seems like the Shunyata line is as universally recommended as you're likely to find but the prices look astronomical. I can't imagine it would be reasonable to spend the same amount on power as for your amp, even if funds were no consideration.

Cool thanks for the Core Power info I'm checking them out now. Any opinions on how the Core Power units at a similar price point stack up against the Isotek Evo3 Aquarius ghosthouse mentioned?

That's really the price point I was hoping for at least for now  - I saw this also - trying to find one for sale:  Shunyata VENOM PS8 - there looks like there used to be a music direct bundle or from underwood now -  Equi=Core 1000 - $1,495.00 Intro special is $999.00 delivered

Thanks to the last 2 posts - 1) I totally missed the fact the Core had no returns; 2) thanks audphile for suggesting a power cord strategy. Having to buy 6 power cords at the prices I'm seeing out there is scary.
