PS Audio vs. Monster - cleaning up the power

Here's my question. Which way do I go now? I have my fused, dedicated 20 amp lines installed. Do I go with PS Audio Ultimate Outlets and Juice Bars or a Monster HTS 3500 or 5000? From what I read here and elsewhere, these are all great products at affordable (for the audiophile game anyway) prices. I was thinking of going with a 20 amp UO for my big amp and the Monster for the front end and video. Is there any benefit to using a UO in front of the Monster? Thanks, as usual, for your collective wisdom.

Try both...you have to decide when the sound is better. Do not plug your amps into the Monster though, they will compress the sound. I even blew my 2500 plugging amps into them.
Unless you have real dirty sounding power, use the UOs and the Juice bars, without all the circuitry these are likely to sound better even on your front end then the Monster.
Good luck!
