Clean Power without the drawbacks of Conditioning Filtering. Advice?

Hi-

From reading i see there is a lot of talk on the drawbacks of Conditioning filtering. Dynamics and freq. limitations etc.

I want to ask if there is a power strip+cord that are not filtering. I think i could possibly get away without conditioning.
From searching it looks like there are the cheapo strips that you don't want to use OR Conditioning strips.

Wondering if there is a good reliable strip that does not screw around with the sound and can also deliver to an 800w consumption tube amp.

Thanks!

I did something similar to what Elizabeth has done , 
I took a Hubble HG outlet strip took out the circuit breaker and rewired 
everything internally and externally with 10 gauge wire from Cardas 
and use a hospital grade plug .

The complete end solution is the PS Audio Directstream Regenerator.  Comes in multiple sizes depending upon your equipment's current requirements.  Zero compression & near perfect wave form.  Outstanding and YES it is a huge upgrade... not a subtle "I think that sounds better" thing... Huge.

This thread has come a long way from advice for a quality power strip to now recommending $5K to $10K power stations.
I wonder if the OP has tuned-out.

Edit... According to the OP’s other thread, he is looking to power tube monoblocks. I would, however, recommend power conditioning for sources. No idea what his budget is.

CK out the new PS Audio P 15 or P 20.  Super clean AC with very low impedance.  I think there is a trial period.  Highly recommended. If price is a consideration, there are some good deals out there on a P 10.  Also a dedicated 20 amp circuit or two wouldn't hurt.
