Recommendations for a good power conditioner? Do I even need one?

Hey
There was a column in this month's Stereophile in which the writer confirmed that, in his long-time experience, both power cables and power conditioners did make a difference in sound. For those who can confirm this, any recs on a conditioner under $800 new or used? David Gray reviews are mixed at best and I'm not familiar with any other brands.

Pathos Classic Mk3Spatial M3 Turbo S's
VPI HW-19 MK4LFD LE
Oppo 105

Before spending any money get the Oppo on a different circuit 
make sure the stereo circuits are all on a different leg of your power panel than large loads w motors
make sure panel connects and grounds are clean and tight ( quality electricians maybe needed ) replace old worn 15 and 20 A breakers as needed. IF you have wall warts or a PC get them away from analog
:-) try that first....

also all the trash producers ( switchpower supplies, clocks, DAC’s) into a $500 Furman on mentioned dedicated circuit will do wonders
