What's new with power conditioning?

I just moved to a new place and I need some help. My old house had PS Audio ports and I had an electrician run some lines for me and my sound was CLEAN. However, my new place isn't so clean. I can hear the dryer coming through my speakers when I wash. Lucky for me, I only wash once a week.

I took the PS Audio power ports from my old place but for now I just don't have the cash it might take to have a qualified electrician come over and set up my lines.

I looked up PS Audio and wow, they have a bunch of new stuff.

What is out there that will clean my power. I use a tube preamp and SET amp and this probably pulls the most power. The rest of my system is a CD player, turntable and that's it. I might be adding a SACD player.

Any suggestions?

Nsgarch;
In all due respect...I know several people who sold their Exact Power EP-15A's to upgrade to the PS Audio Premier.But they did so after an exhausting head to head listening test.
I just offed my BPT 3.5 Signature and Monster AVS2000 combo in favor of the P3 and never felt like a "me-too".
What's your premise on this post?
Have you actually compared the two?
Just curious...much respect to a CLS owner, as I had a pair with the Kinergetics subs for awhile as well. They certainly are a "sonic window" (or "door" as my wife called them).

Soundlogic, I refer you to these two threads for comments (mine and others, particularly Zaiksman's) comparing the EP to the PPP:

Gentlemen, let us not forget the important role that synergy plays. Different components and performance will vary. Try both and trust your own ears. After all is said and done, it is your money and your ears.
