Power conditioner/strip

I currently am using a Shunyata Research MPC-12 Power Conditioner (with SSF38 ...  Think of a upgrade.  

I was thinking Furutech e-TP80S NCF AC Power Filter Distributor.  Any thoughts on this?  or any recommendations of something better than the Shunyata.  Need at least 6 plugs (and a unit that can handle these "big" plug ends)  

Would like to keep it under 2500. 

Out of the wall i have a dedicated 20 amp line and use Furutech top of the line wall plug.

Thanks

I would not recommend a sideways move. If you want to get a better conditioner I would move up in the Shunyata lines. Also, move to a full sized component. If you have a dedicated line... then this makes sense. Also, it is best if you plug your amp into a separate dedicated line, and not into a conditioner.

I do have the amplifier plugged directly into wall.

It depends on amplifier, power conditioner and the wall current. There is no universal right or wrong. Also may depend on particular power cords.

Puritan Audio PSM-156 might be worth a look.  They come up used, so I waited for one near me and got it less than half of new price ($3,500 USD) with their "Ultimate PC" included.  I think it checks all you boxes with 6 outputs that are spaced enough for big plugs.  Well within budget (used) and should be a good step up from current.  If you care about Reviews, Steve Huff dubbed the PSM-156 the best power conditioner ever regardless of price FWIW.
