Regenerator on a fancy power strip budget?

Looking to try something new.  Currently using a Niagara 1000, or Belkin PureAV.   I like that the Belkin can go on my rack, and it looks nice enough.  Been switching between the two, and there's no difference in sound quality to my ears.

The newer Niagara 1200 is more attractive/wanted physically, but I'm sure it will sound identical to the 1000.

Thinking of one of the PS Audio regenerators, but the top of my budget can only afford the new Stellar model.  I also see the Premier Power on the used market frequently, although it's about 10 years old now.

*Components needing to be plugged in:  Integrated amp, phono stage (with external power supply), streamer (with external power supply), and a turntable. *Also - I only have one outlet on the wall where my components are, so plugging everything in that way is not an option.

Any and all thoughts, experiences, and suggestions welcome.

roblevick-I picked a PPP here, for $700 4 years ago. Works fine, and does what it's designed to do. I do the opposite of what many do with them- plug EVERYTHING into it. I hear no deficit, doing so.

Also improved the picture quality of the TV. Results are going to vary,depending on the quality of your line.

Everything audio geek is subjective, I find it to be a great addition to my tubed, midfi setup.

Precious owners who stepped up to newer models report an audible improvement form the PPP, so if you can find used P3/5 for cheap, it may worthwhile to try, You can always sell it if you don't hear any improvement.
