Power Conditioners - and where they are placed

@shahram   Can the power conditioner you purchase be placed in front of the rack?

I would place it on it's own isolation platform and run the power cables under the lowest shelf of the rack (and around it, if / when necessary) to the components. It will allow for separation from the components and rack (a good thing, for example from your PS4 or 4K player) as well as better cable management, etc.

And now for what you don't want to hear..."best bang for the buck" isn't a good strategy. Best "bang" is. 

All the best with your decisions.

Furman is a really great choice. The main advantage of the unit you are thinking about vs. smaller is multiple banks of filtering, and power factor correction.

But, it is a physcially large unit. If you want something almost as good, but a lot less expensive and smaller in the rack, check this one out:

It includes the 2 biggest noise reducing elements: LiFT and SMP.

I own two large power conditioners. The 88lb Furman sits halfway between the amplifier (which is between the speakers) and the audio rack (which is near my seating) I used to use that PC for the amp too, not anymore, but too lazy to move it. It sits on the floor up on spikes. The other PS Audio P-600 is behind the audio rack..One comment on placing something ON TOP of a power conditioner... If it has a big transformer.. I would say you should at least have an extra inch of space added between the top and any component over it.
Another consideration is realize plugging and unplugging power cords.. plus if you use aftermarket thick and unwieldy cords.. Some racks block acess.. You make need to just put the power conditioner on the floor where you can allow power cords to fit without a hassle.Also if the conditioner is off the floor.. then the weight of aftermarket power cords and them pulling out of the AC outlets is a big PITA too. So all in all the floor is the best overall place for one. Maybe up on spikes to keep the bottom vents clear of the carpet.
