Importance of a power conditioners versus surge protector


Hi everyone!  I recently upgraded my stereo and realized that I have had trouble with power outages and some “glitches” on my tv for a while.  I purchased a Furman surge protector but it is not a power conditioner.  I guess while the surge protector may be good for abnormally elevated “electronic surges” it may not filter unwanted noise and protect my system.  I have aluminum wiring in the house also which I know isn’t the best conductor.  Is it important from a music quality and component standpoint to add a conditioner?  Can you suggest a quality conditioner for under $750?

Your most cost-effective move, if you can do it, is to run one copper wire direct from the panel to your listening room. DIY and cost for wire, circuit breaker and outlet will be well under $750. Alternatively, the Decware Zen conditioner is a great value. https://www.decware.com/newsite/ZLC.html You could probably do both for around $1200 and if you do, stand back, you won't believe the improvement!
