Help w/Power Conditioning: Shunyata, Furman, RGPC?


I'm feeling totally lost with what direction to go with power conditioning in my system and am looking for some help. My system, briefly (click here for full info):

Dali MS4 Utopia Speakers
Pass INT-150 Integrated
Bel Canto DAC 3
Mac Mini
Shunyata Taipain Alpha and Cardas Golden Reference PCs
Purist speaker/ICs
Ridge USB cable

So far looking at the following units and trying to see what people think and what direction is a good way to go (looking at $1400 and under):

Shunyata 6 or 8 (specifically looking at diffs btwn these two, as wife likes 6)
Richard Gray Power Company pole pig + 600 (not much info on pole pig)
Furman Elite 15PF
Audio Magic Stealth Mini Reference
Any others??

Thanks!

Three weeks ago, I replaced a Hydra 2/Purist Audio Dominus Ferrox combo with an Alan Maher Designs Reference Power Center V2. I can't say I hear a performance boost, but I can't hear any performance decrease either. The RPC V2 is still burning in according to the designer.

The Alan Maher RPC V2 with captive power cord cost $750, versus the $399 Hydra 2 + $1900 Dominus.

The savings was worth the change. Plus, the Alan Maher RPC V2 has eight outlets versus two on the Hydra 2.
