Seeking advice re: complex power conditioning

I have a rather high-end system (Accuphase, Krell, Proceed and Wadia electronics with Revel Ultima 5.1 speaker system and mainly Transparent Audio cabling). I am now trying to “complete” my system by incorporating power conditioning. What I am thinking of doing is introducing balanced power, noise reduction, power supplementation, surge protection and voltage regulation. The specific components I am most seriously thinking about using are the SMART Home Theater GC-120 for balanced power and voltage regulation, the Shunyata Hydra for noise reduction, and the Richard Gray Power Company for power supplementation and surge protection.

I am intending to connect them in a daisy-chain fashion: GC-120 into the wall plug, with the Hydra plugged into the GC-120 and the Richard Grays into the adjacent wall plugs and/or the Hydra, depending on the application (my Krell FBP-200c is plugged into its own circuit via a PS Audio Ultimate Outlet and PS Audio Mini-lab power cord).

What I am seeking is the opinions of others regarding this proposal. Will it work? Am I chosing compatible products, etc?

Thank you.

You really ought to check this out: http://tnt-audio.com/accessories/platinum-pp1_e.html. I've owned this unit for over two years, run all of my source equipment off of it and my Rowland Model 12 mono blocks. It does amazing things and does nothing to degrade the sound. Far better than the Tice IIIC, PS Audio P-300 (compared use on source equipment only) and multiple PS Audio Ultimate Outlets.

Also, I haven't heard the Virtual Dynamics power cords, but there are a lot of positive comments on them at the Cable Asylum - the company claims that its customers are replacing their line conditioners with the cords. Check them out at http://virtualdynamics.ca/. They currently sell their cables direct at one-half the prices shown on their web site.
