Trogdor - I used to use an Audio Power Industries Power Wedge 116 in my main rig, but, found the isolation transformers didn't allow me the flexibility of playing with parallel filtering. I shifted the API conditioner over to my headphone rig which has less demands than the he-man setup. In conjunction with a high current version of the PS Audio UO, I seem to be getting pleasing results with my headphone gear.
For what it's worth, I second Salt Peanuts' recommendation of the PS Audio UPC-200. It seems like it suits your needs, and if I were in your shoes again, I'd consider checking it out. I use a PS Audio Power Port, Power Director 4.7, and xStream Statement cords on all the components in my main rig (except turntable motor) with reeeeally wonderful results - the PS Audio gear has raised the enjoyment factor on my main system a huge notch - the spatial relationships between instruments (and their timbre) is far clearer than without this level of conditioning. The PS Audio UPC-200 is kind of the evolutionary successor to the UO, and I imagine its performance to be no less than the stuff I'm using, if not better.
I know people with some Shunyata gear and they're pleased with the results. I hope to check it out myself at some point. A concern with power conditioners in general is that you want to avoid current limiting. Fortunately, as far as I know, the PS Audio and Shunyata gear don't suffer this constriction.
