Best for Least: Power strip, what's best?

What do you use in terms of power strips or outlets that are both inexpensive, (< $200), and actually improve things audibly? Audible improvements can be subtractive it needs not be current in your system, but does need to be available for purchase. If used with an upgrade cord please state which one.

IN short "Who makes the best strip, for the least amount of money?" (Digital, or analog gear or both though Digital is my current main concern)

Thanks a bunch.

I second the Wiremold. In my system it replaced a Chang Lightspeed CLS3200 and it was an improvement. Not bad for around 50 bucks.

Thanks, Everybody.

As Ive a need for digital functionality, and the $200 level allows for some 'more than a strip' strips, perhaps some other 'inexpensive' power/conditioning items should be ferrited out. Pardon the pun. I was of the understanding a simple P strip would suffice... after talking to Chris at BPT yesterday, I was told otherwise. Some filtering would be necessary. Too bad. I had hoped for a cheaper fix.... so be it.

What would be a prudent choice for strickly PC - Low voltage/transformered devices? ...that would eliminate the artifacts they put into the power suppply?

Personally, I'm thinking an plug in isolation transformer from someone like Hammond, and a power strip from wiremold.... or just the iso T-form, and the current Pstrips in place now.... ???
