Please let me know your opinions on this controversial subject: power conditioning. I would like to hear from the most skeptical skeptics on this one!
In case you wonder about my own biases, I fall into the "audio gear amps do all sound the same (with the usual qualifiers applied) camp".
I'm actually asking about power conditioning in a different context, as I am considering adding one to my electric guitar rig. I've looked around AVS, and the internets in general, and there does seem to be no authoritative opinion/position on their merits in any application, even in the home studio recording context.
I'm considering one because my guitar rig seems to have a pretty high noise floor, especially relative to my music teacher's studio. I'm also looking to integrate a new multi-effects pedal into my rig, which has the reputation for potentially upping the noise level.
I'd be looking for a unit with robust surge protection, noise suppression, and voltage regulation. Something with all this stuff is not cheap by any means, which I can readily demonstrate by pointing you to the AVR line of Torus power conditioners:

Let me know your opinions on this piece of gear, and don't hold back at all (which I know you won't anyway)!
Cheers,
JD
