Advice on power conditioner

I am looking to spend $200, new or used ( or nothing if it's not worthwhile)on a power conditioner. I live in NYC and only have 2 components; audio refinement int. and rotel cdp to worry about. Also, if I use an upgraded PC on the amp should it be right to the wall?
thanks in advance, as always-

I'm with Sean on this one. Or you can get a new Monster Cable HTS-1000 or HTS-2000 for $149 and $199 (retail -- you can do better), respectively. They're hard to beat for the money -- and they're better than the Chang. At least they were in my system, which at the time consisted of Rowland and Audio Research.

Regarding the Richard Gray units, I had three of them. They strangled my amp. My Pass X350 and my Rowland Model 10 sounded like tiny triodes. When my A/C kicked on, the 60-watt lamp I had plugged into one of the units dimmed. So much for incredible power reserves. The Monster is better for lots less money.
