need help choosing line condtioner

I have three amplifiers that consume almost 2000 watts. My adcom ACE-515 is only rated at 750 watts and only has two outlets. I was considering buying another adcom but my Parasound HCA-1500A uses 1000 watts. My other amps are Rotel RB-991 (550 watts consumption) and Rotel RB-956AX (400 watts consumption). IS there a line conditioner that will not limit the power needed by these amps and still have enough outlets for 8 source componets, preamp, tv, etc? Will it have sequenced power up? And here is the kicker...my college budget will only allow me to spend $500. What should I do? Thanks.

I live in an apartment and use a 3000W ONEAC isolation transformer. I also have a Tice A/V Solo, but it's not a good idea to plug my amp to it.

You can get a *big* isolation transformer in eBay, but it is going to be 220V in for what you want it...

Sedond is using two VE unlimiters and is happy with them. I would try good power cords (whatever design, no debates here...) and also try a Highwire Wirewrap. For $25 it's worth a try--I have one to help my power amp and it smoothens sound by removing RF grunge.

Going to parallel filtration is also a good idea--as well as getting some surplus isolation transformers for your digital gear.
