Protecting AMP and Cleaning AC Power

I have been looking at the Furman Elite-15 DM i
to connect my tube amp, DAC and streamer. 

It seems clear from other forums that the DAC could gain some benefit from cleaner power.  

But it other forums also point out that AC filters could also limit the amp performance.

what cost effective approaches have others taken?

The guys at McCormack told me not to use anything between the amp and the wall outlet. So, I don't.
I do have a PS Audio Dectet for the other stuff. I, too, am concerned about power fluctuations and spikes, but, despite numerous power outages, my DNA-1 amplifier hasn't suffered any damage to date.
If I could afford a power regenerator, maybe I would get one, but, being a poor gardener with a taste for quality sound, I think I can live without one.-Besides SMc, can fix anything that happens, and upgrade it to boot.
