The best power conditioner for less than $1K?


I have a Rotel 1095 200x5 Amp, an Older Yamaha M-4 170x2 Amp, a Rotel 1066 Processor, a Denon 3910 DVD, a Sansui TU717 Tuner, and Sunfire Architectural Sub. My main speakers are Proac Studio 200's. I am using a Proac CC2 Center channel and have in-wall Def Tech BPZA surrounds. My present power conditioner is a Monster 3600.

I would really like to get a more analog warm 2 ch sound. Any recommednations on what power conditioner would help?

Before going to the expense of buying another PLC, you might consider changing your outlets. Hubbells and Pass & Seymour tend to be very revealing outlets, especially if cryo'ed. Furutech outlets might work, although they tend to be more dull than I prefer. A good median might be the FIM 880. They're out of production, but you can get them from Galen Carol audio.
If you do decide to go with another PLC, I highly recommend going with a 'parallel' conditioner setup in your price range. My ears tell me that 'tuning' your gear with 2 or 3 different 'parallel' filters upstream of your gear can do remarkable things to clean your sound without restricting dynamics. Blue Circle, AudioPrism, PS audio, Quantum, make good 'parallel' conditioners.
