Power Bars


I currently use a Museatex CDD transport
Mustatex Bitsteam DAC with latest mods
Simaudio intergrated.

I've spent a small fortune already on wiring, everything from moray james to harmonic tech interconnects, I was wondering what a good power bar would be?

As it stands right now I'm using a very cheap ($100) Acoustic Research power bar. I want one that allows me to plug in all my power cords, (all of which are after market) and doesn't dampen current or voltage flow to my electronics. Althought the AR power bar says to act as a "conditioner" I have a hard time believing it isn't sucking the life out of the Simaudio and other gear.

I've been looking at the Blue Circle MusicBars. They seem in tune with what I want to spend.

Perhaps somebody could lead me down the right path. I have 3 peices that need to be plugged in. The wall outlet is 6 feet away.

I guess I'm looking for something I can plug my electronic's into that doesn't limit the current to my amp, ideally it would act as a surge guard as well. I have no idea if a Power conditioner is needed. I have lingering doubts if it would improve the sound.
Hey guys, thanks for the headsup. I don't have the luxary of being able to plug my amp directly into the wall as it's a tight fit, there is a bookshelve in front of it, and IEC plug is too thick to fit behind there. So I'm going to be forced to plug everything into the power bar. So I guess I'm looking for something that won't limit power, allow for a built in surge, conditioning would be a bonus. I have had my eye on a Monster HTS2600 unit, but have no idea how they stack up to dedicated 2 channel demands. Most of the monster stuff seems geared towards HT use.
