Seeking advice on power conditioners/regenerators


I am wondering whether a power conditioner or regenerator would make a difference in my system, and if so what would you recommend in the "value" price category.
I have no idea if my power is "clean" or "dirty".  What I can say is I live in SoCal, my provider is SDG&E.  I have rooftop solar, panels made by Sunpower (with micro-inverters).  I am connected to the grid.
The components I have "plugged-in" are as follows:
Turntable power supply:  Linn Lingo II
Phono preamp:  PS Audio Stellar Phono
Integrated Amp:  Primaluna Dialogue Premium Integrated
CD Player:  Arcam CD23
Streamer:  Metrum Ambre
DAC:  Metrum Onyx

Thanks for your advice and recomendations.

Here's the thing. What are the possible sources of noise you are trying to clean up? If you live in an urban area or near any commercial or industrial facilities, you're likely to need some cleanup. If the circuit to which you power your system is shared with appliances, dimmers, florescent lights, etc., you're gonna need conditioning. If your system is composed of mid-level components that don't properly shield the noise they generate internally, you'll need help. Finally, if your speakers are high sensitivity speakers, you'll likely hear some of the noise. BUT.....If you don't have any of the above issues, and can't hear any noise in the black parts of music, you'll likely be wasting money and possibly adding problems by adding conditioners or regenerators. Don't believe the hype about improvements on problems you don't have.
