Best power conditioning under 400 bucks


I'm looking for surge protection and to clean up the power coming from my wall (currently I'm running directly into the wall with the amp and off a cheapy power strip for everything else). Currently I can't spend much more than $300 so was looking for recommendations new or used, and I'd like to be able to plug my amp into it was well without restricting its performance (McCormack DNA 0.5 Rev. A). I was contemplating the BPT CPC if there are any thoughts on that unit, but I'd welcome all thoughts/ideas.

By the way, I'm not looking to add warmth or anything like that -- just hoping to clear things up a bit and achieve a quieter background along with some surge protection. Thanks for any thoughts.

Wow. After doing a little digging the AR1P seems really interesting. Would the wiremold strip (or any other power strip) offer isolation between outlets to prevent noise being transferred from my digital components to the rest of my system?
Thanks for all the good suggestions. Looks like I've got a little homework to do here, but fun homework.

I need at least four outlets and don't want to pay for another power strip to expand capacity, which somewhat rules out the Shunyata and Audience options at this point given my budget. The Brickwall unit probably has the best surge protection but has a series filter that I'm concerned may limit the performance of my amp, but I'm not sure about that. Still looking into the others.

Any other thoughts greatly appreciated.
