Shoul I consider a power conditioner?


I have just cobbled together an interesting system, and am thoroughly enjoying the process. I am, however, a bit unsure how to proceed with respect to power conditioners. I have never previously owned one, though I have had a couple of nice systems. Having researched a bit, I am inclined to consider either a PS Audio or Blue Circle unit.

I'm interested both in general comments about the need for such expensive devices, and any specific thoughts relating to the above-mentioned brands (or others).

Here's my system (thus far):

Bryston b60 integrated amp (owned a Bryston amp 25 years ago!)

Green Mountain Audio Europa Max speakers (the only new component)

Rega Planet 2000 CD player (really liked the original Planet)

Accuphase T-100 tuner (my first foray into the world of vintage tuners)

Audio Magic Sorcerer speaker cables

Osiris speaker stands (discontinued; luckily found a used pair)

Thanks in advance!

Go ahead and try them, but make certain, as you listen, that they improve rather than harm your sound. Most do lower noise but also rob dynamics and smear the sound.
