power conditioner


I am almost done with putting my system together. I have a Mac 452 amp, Mac 550 cd, Mac MT-10 turntable and a Mac C2500 pre amp. looking to see would be a good power conditioner/surge protector for a reasonable cost. 
The room I am using the equipment in is wired with 15 amp wiring. I read a lot  the Furman and Panamax sounds like they are the same company but the equipment is very different. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

While I'm sure that voltage regulation would be desirable what I have deciphered from all the opines over the years leads me to believe that balanced power gives the best improvement in performance. Balanced through all components combined with balanced power has brought a certain quality to my system that I would be unlikely to forgo. Balanced power ends up being like a natural filter. Common mode rejection in electrical circuits is a method used in sensitive medical and scientific equipment. It cleans the noise that you can't hear but that keeps one from hearing the music.
When I can afford it will purchase balanced power to run some balanced amps. 
While I'm sure other power conditioning methods are very successful and may be preferred by many it might be of benefit to explore balanced power. There are many threads throughout the years on this forum. Best of luck.
