Rich sounding line conditioners?

I currently have a Monster HTS3600 and a Brick Wall AUD15 in the house. The Brick Wall made a wonderfully detailed and palpable 3D sound, but took away the warmth from the system. So I demoed a Monster 3600 which also added detail and also took away some of the warmth of the system.

BTW, between the two I find the Brick Wall sounds more natural and less "electronic" than the Monster - though I can see where the Monster would be pretty nice in the right system.

As someone who's always trying to get the analog sound with a digital system, I'm wondering which line conditioners err on the side of richness, sonority, warmth etc.

I've heard the Sunyata Hydra can have that characteristic and was wondering if there were other recommendations?

Thanks!

BTW, I have an all Cary HT system - Cary Pre/pro, 5 channel amp, and even Cary Silver Oak III Speakers.

Hopefully a line condition will create an environment with no sound signature as far as power goes. Then them music can come through.

"Conditioners" are not the best way to go. The units that provide clean balanced power are better.
Exact Power
Blue Circle Music Rings
PS Audio Power Plants
And Others..

If conditioning is all you can afford, a $110 Blue Circle Noisehound will condition the power better than most "conditioners".
