Cleaner AC Source for Better Sound


For me, a house renter, dedicated AC lines are NOT an option. I live in an urban area and would no doubt benefit from some time of AC "cleansing". Currently, I have my sources (TT, CD, tuner) plugged into a power strip/surge protector via one duplex wall outlet and my 250W SS amp and preamp power source plugged directly into another, separate (standard) duplex outlet. Is there an "all-in-one" product out there such that I can simply plug it into a wall outlet (given a decent AC cord) and then plug ALL of the rest of my stuff (amp, preamp, TT, CD, tuner, and a light source - 6 items) into that unit that will provide sufficient power capacity and AC "cleansing" without degradation of sound quality?

Mot check out the offerings from Chang Lighspeed. A 6 outlet model 3200 runs about $300 list; this is fine for your source components but perhaps not your amp though, since it's fairly high powered. The model 6400 ISO has higher current capability; will not constrain dynamics of your amp, and is Stereophile recommended. A really great feature within all of Chang's models is the integral transient-protector parallel MOV snubber, which can save your equipment during a thunderstorm. The protection circuitry shuts off power to all of the output-outlets if for any reason it becomes inoperable.
Chang offers a good value-for-dollar array of line conditioners. Not the most expensive by any means but not the cheap stuff either.
