Want to buy for a power conditioner?


I have a system consisting of a Mark Levinson 37 transport, 360S DAC, 380S preamp, and 336 power amp. I also have dCS Purcell, Sony SCD-1, and other video related equipment. I am at loss over what power conditioner I should buy..just too many! Which of the following do you think would be best in my system?
I use Shunyata Black Mamba VII, Virtual Dynamics Nite, and Harmonic Technology Fantasy AC-10 power cables.

1. PS Audio 600 Multiwave II
2. Shunyata Hydra 8
3. BPT 2+ or other model
4. Sound Aplications
5. None at all

Any power conditioner will change the sound, now if you like it and most of all does your equipment like it. They all interact with the power supplies. Some gear hate balanced power, some get slow sounding. I use a Furman Reference 20i. I tried it before buying and I compared my front from wall and to the Furman, in each case the Furman lowered the noise to such a extent that sounds and noises made during the recording were easy to hear, pages being turned, lip smacks, breathes taken, lower fade outs etc. So I have kept it. Not cheap though. Furman been the pros choice for years. The Guy who designed for Furman now works for Audio quest. Looking at the Niagara 7,000 and specs it is very much like the Furman but double the price. I tried PS audio, balanced power, Exact power and a few more. Sold them all. One option. Is the Harmonic Technogly Magic power cords with the built in noise filter. Of is the real deal and what you can do for the front end is buy a quality power strip plug the HT into it and you condition your whole front end. Power amps to me always sounded best off the wall. I use McIntosh that have the auto transformers.
