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.

Aux input.
It was one of those items I never really knew how it worked or needed to know tbh.
It just did and that was more than enough for me.
Most comments I have ever read on power conditioners are along the lines that with amps plugged into them they tend to kill the dynamics somewhat.

Cannot comment on that but can state from actual experience that does NOT happen with a CPT Equicore=1800.
I ran EVERYTHING in my system through the Equicore. This was plugged into an SR Blue duplex.
Backgrounds were black and astonishing quiet. No more annoying clicks or any interference at all when the AC kicked in or from any other electrical device which I used to suffer from immensely.

Just fyi.
