Power Conditioners

I have about $5,000 invested in a 2 channel stereo setup. Marantz PM7000N integrated receiver, Canton Chrono SL596 speakers, Rega P6 table, blue jeans Canare 4S11 cables. Is it worth it to buy a cheap power conditioner/protector like this https://www.musicdirect.com/power/furman-pst-8-d-digital-power-station or this https://upscaleaudio.com/collections/power-conditioners/products/pangea-quattro-power-center

Will I be able to hear a difference/is my equipment sensitive enough to notice a difference; or will a typical surge protector suffice? Otherwise, will it be a waste of money to spend money on a low priced conditioner?

Thanks!

The only conditioner that has had an obvious and positive affect in my system is the AudioQuest Niagara 1200

As I’d expect! The SR PowerCell is $2,000 and the Furman is $450. +1 on working with Alfred on SR products. But your example wasn’t a "fair fight"....ha.
