Power Help - What Conditioner - WHERE?


I have a large HT/Audio system and have accumulated a good number of power devices, but want to use them for maximum effect and ask for your thoughts.  Here is a list of my Conditioners:

1) Emotiva CMX-2 (Thought I had DC issues a few years ago, only has to outputs)

2) Sound Application XE-12 (not used currently, but many outlets labeled analog & digital)

3) BPT BP-2 (I have one of the originals with 8 total outlets (1500va I think)

4) BPT BP-3.5ish (Chris Hoff built this as one of his final builds using a 3000 or 3500 va transformer)

5) Various Power Strip for connection of wall warts etc.

I need to connect the following (long list). I have a dedicated 15a and 20a circuit to my rack.

a. Emotiva XMC-2 Processor/Preamp

b. Oppo BDP-203 MultiDisc Player

c. Rega P8 Turntable (Wall Wart)

d. Musical Surroundings Nova III Pre w/Linar Power Supply (Wall Wart)

e. Apple Mac Mini (Std 2-prong power cord)

f. Western Digital (2) USB HD to the Mini (Wall Warts)

g. Drobo Raid HD (2) to the Mini (Wall Warts)

h. Eversolo DMP-6 Streamer (IEC)

i. XBOX (Std 2-prong power cord)

j. CableBox (Wall Wart)

k. Adcom 7300 5-Channel Amplifier (Powers Rear 4-Speakers) - IEC 

l. EAD PowerMaster 1000 50Channel Amplifier (Powers Center Only) - IEC

m. Parasound 2125 v2 Stereo Amplifier (Bottom bi-amp of Main) - IEC

n. Custom 60w Tube Amp (Top bi-amp of Main) - IEC

o. Router/AP for Basement - Wall Wart

p. 8-port Network Switch - Wall Wart

q. DIRAC Network - Processor box (Wall Wart)

r. NHT SA-3 Subwoofer Amplifier (IEC)

If you are here - THANK YOU for reading. How would you suggest I connect everything? Should I only connect via the 20A circuit, or use the misc (Network etc) connections to the 15a service/circuit. What would you connect to each other. Redoing my rack is a HUGE task, and I would like to get power - RIGHT. Thanks for your help.

Furman power conditioners don't improve sound

 

we would recomend  using two conditioners one for your amplifiers

 

and one for other devices

 

our very large reference theater uses two conditioners 

main conditioner clarus concerto completely non current limiting list 4,000 

the we use an isotek sigmas for the rest of the system
