Help w/Power Conditioning: Shunyata, Furman, RGPC?


I'm feeling totally lost with what direction to go with power conditioning in my system and am looking for some help. My system, briefly (click here for full info):

Dali MS4 Utopia Speakers
Pass INT-150 Integrated
Bel Canto DAC 3
Mac Mini
Shunyata Taipain Alpha and Cardas Golden Reference PCs
Purist speaker/ICs
Ridge USB cable

So far looking at the following units and trying to see what people think and what direction is a good way to go (looking at $1400 and under):

Shunyata 6 or 8 (specifically looking at diffs btwn these two, as wife likes 6)
Richard Gray Power Company pole pig + 600 (not much info on pole pig)
Furman Elite 15PF
Audio Magic Stealth Mini Reference
Any others??

Thanks!

rather than power conditioner, I suggest you try the power regeneration model from PS Audio. You get significant benefits in the sound without compromises. RGPC is good if you have bookshelf and want to emphasize the low mid to bass because that is exactly what it does. Hydra, although better is bit loose in low bass. After a while, you start to think if plugging your units to any of power conditioning unit really justify the cost. PS Audio unit was the only thing that got me to accept that clean, pure power is worth paying $2,000 for.
