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!

@lowrider57..... Yep I think this thread lost OP. I don't think he had $10K power re-generators in mind when he ask for a simple solution to gaining an extra 8 ft of extension from his outlet to location of equipment. No filtering, no power conditioning or re-generation - Just "8' of Extension".
As suggested - a Cullen audio grade outlet strip for about $200.00 and another $50.00 in material and 1/2 Hr.  worth of work to build an audio grade ext. cord to make up the additional 4' needed.......Jim

I think the op went and bought the PS Audio P20.             
It was the highest priced suggestion. The lowest price suggestion: Right here: Carol wire 12 gauge/3 for about $1.50 a foot from a hardware store. An ordinary in wall duplex tandem box, $4 a Wattgate plug $12 Two Pass & Seymour heavy duty 20 amp duplex, $12, And a brass tandem duplex cover $4

Im reading with interest even though its indeed a whole different topic. But some info here is good and useful. 
The 10k power stations are not for me but a fun read nonetheless. 
Thanks!

@jhills, this thread was useful to me. I may get the Cullen strip and swap out my Wiremold. The Cullen comes with a high quality PC.
