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

You might add to your list the Foundation Research LC-1 and LC-2 passive in-line power conditioners. These are dedicated in-line conditioners in that you purchase one LC per component.

Marty DeWulf of Bound for Sound reviewed these in Aug, 2003 issue and claimed these to simply be the best he's heard and purchased them for his 'Big Rig'.

As far as I know, endorsements don't get much better than that. And Marty DeWulf has supposedly been quite a stickler for proper line conditioning for years.

And the prices of the LC's are no greater than a good to excellent power cable and come with their own built-in power cable. Therefore, potentially saving money buying a cable and line conditioner while still aquiring perhaps the very best.
