Power Strip Question - PLEASE HELP

I'm not sure that it will make much diference concerning the quaility of the powerstrips under those conditions. I would go for a good quality strip with some filtering for protection even though it will compromise the sound significantly. You have some excellent equipment.

One other thought, you could go to Home Depot and purchase some 10 to 12 gauge heavy duty stranded wire in the bulk wire display. It is very flexible and you can build a very high quaility extension cord, (go to a an electrical supply shop and ask for their best connectors) and then run this cord from another circuit in your home or apartment to your equipment. This stuff is very flexible, looks nice, will turn corners easily, and doesn't look to bad if layed along the perimeter of your room. Then you could add the powerstrip.
Good luck!

Believe it or not, and I deem this could not happen in your current setup, but the sound of your system would be greatly enhanced by running a direct line from your circuit breaker for each of your components. You might be surprised what a differnce this would make. Your integrated amp would really love the current a direct line and reward you with better bass and dynamics, along with a sweeter treble, flushed out midrange, enhanced imaging, etc. Your digital gear puts a lot of trash into the line also and should ideally have a circuit all to itself.

For now, though, I would budget more money towards a power enhancer. You could go with the Shunyata as outlined above, or purchase a used PS Audio PowerPlant Premier which would regenerate the power, protect your system from spikes, and give you a separate outlet and regenerated electtrical plug that is isolated from interfering with all your other gear. I believe you'd be able to plug all your gear into this one unit. To me, this would be one of your best options, and the one I'd try. You can purchase a used one on Audiogon for around $1150.00 and try it. If you tell any differnce you should be able to sell it easily as they seem to be in demand.
To upgrade this, build a power cable like I mentioned earlier. It is really not that difficult and does not require a large amount of tools. You would need a wire stripper, wirecutters suitable to cutting through this heavy cable, and a scewdriver. You could purchase an electrical book at the same time which should give you all the info you'd need. Surely someone at the hardware store could help you also.
The other option would be to purchase the heaviest extention cord one could purhase at Lowe's or Home Depot. You'd want at least 12 guage if possible. Use it to run all of your other components and use the PowerPlant Premier from the outlet by your system.
You might want to go to the PS Audio website and read about their various Power Plants.

Hope this helps.

The PS Audio would be the best. Just plug everything into the wall listen, have fun, and forget all the stress this is causing you. Life is too short!

Don't ever discount the quaility of your power source. This can do amazing things for your system. In fact, until you do this, (If you become disappointed in the way your new system sounds!) don't be in a hurry to upgrade component as you've not heard what they can give.
Congratulations on your new system. You've made excellent choices for your budget. There is a lot of time to live and learn about getting the best from your hifi!
