Power help


I know that power is probably the weak link in both of my systems. I have a Linn system in my media room and Violectric headphone system in my office. For both, I have them going to an APC XS1500 Backup UPC. Is this terrible? My house does have occasional power hiccups and outages. Can someone please give me some advice on reasonable ways to upgrade my setup?

Noisy expensive UPS located in another room does not seem like a reasonable solution. I’m pretty sure I had a dedicated circuit installed in my media room last time I had an electrician over. I think the variability in electricity in my house comes from the source. My whole neighborhood has issues. I realize that is a limitation. I didn’t want to put that stress on my equipment so I got the UPS to help minimize the impact of these occasional brown outs. 

Would going to a wiremold powerstrip and then to a UPS help?

Is there a reasonable priced UPS option that is not noisy that would be a significant upgrade?

Should I not be concerned about the variability and just use a wiremold?

Would one of those Blue Circle or other power conditioner products in between the equipment and the UPS help?

Is there a reasonable solution that I could hire an electrician to help with? 
Looks like those start at about $5k. That's a bit steep. Is that the only thing that actually works?
