The most important piece of gear in your system is not even in your house. The most important piece is the local neighborhood transformer. It powers everything in the neighborhood including your house. Power conditioning IMHO is hugely misunderstood.

We have an attitude (just a bunch of salesman bullshit) that will literally sit an expensive piece between your amp and the local supply and then hand you a bunch of garbage that the your soundstage requires filtering...  :lol:

The biggest job for any piece of gear that interfaces your house and the local neighborhood transformer should not be filtering. What you want, and only want, is for that piece of gear to literally fuck your neighbors over with supply. You want a piece of gear that sits in your house and the local supply says. Holy fuck I am going over to that place and screw the neighbors fridge or what ever else that may be turning on. lol

That is what you want from a power conditioner because that strategy will ensure an uninhibited transients. The only way to do that is by inserting a huge massive transformer in the house. But why bother because you already got one and it's called the local neighborhood supply. You can drop your house impedance by just updating your wiring and outlets and fuse box. It would still be cheaper than getting sucked into a $5k  conditioner.

With  HiFI, stay away from regulated supplies. Why would you regulate digital source gear that is already regulated? Don't even argue regulating amps. If you need regulated supplies and you are concerned about audio... move. Don't stay in an area that has shitty 120 service...lol.
