Which line conditioner is best for my situation?

I am getting Mag 3.6's (maybe 3.7's) Will probably run a SS amp like a Bryston 4B-SST2. Am considering adding a tube preamp to sweeten the sound. I have a dedicated AC line circuit (20 amps). One stereo salesman says just to get a Richard Gray RGP 400 which lists at about $800. Another salesman says to get a Furman 20i at considerably more money. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks. Laurence.

IMO, Shunyata Hydra - no contest. Re: amp, you might consider a Pass Labs (different models, e.g., 150, 150.5, 250, 250.5)- will add a bit of sweetness while retaining great dynamics and transparency.

I would get a Pure Power 2000 or 1050. They both regenerate a clean AC signal, have battery back-up, and protect against surges. It is generally much better to have clean AC power than it is to passively treat the incoming power.

I have used passive PS Audio and Monster Cable conditioners and recently tried out (hope to purchase soon) a Shunyata Hydra. The Hydra easily bested the previous products I have tried. I would throw a shunyata conditioner in with your options as well.
