Try Transparent "Power isolator". If it doesn't works, there's a problem in your system. Richard Gray filters can be add to "classic" filters as they work in a different way (Richard Gray work better on power amps/sub following my exp).
How exactly do they "work in a different way"... Your arguments go against not only science, but common logic.

I wonder if he is refering to the filtering of harmonics in stages. If one conditioner filters 10% then you run it through filters in series wouldn't this filter different percentages of harmonics off of the line? Just a thought

Yes, by using several filters of different powers in cascade. On my system, i double filter the drive and converter, so four filters for CD.

Transparent power filters are "classic" galvanic isolation filters while Richard Gray filters work differently. I lack terms to express myself correctly, so please have a look at this page:

The best is:

Separate dedicated power line for each element (4mm2 diameter cooper wire for power amps), a Richard Gray or several ones in serial, followed by one or several Transparent power isolators in cascade, and then you plug your element on it. The whole
wired in top power cords, but that's another story!

Even a dedicated line delivers power affected by all the others on the same feed from the outside source, so there remains a role for conditioning, possibly.

Certainly, conditioning is not always better even with good conditioners. Remember that sounding different and sound better aren't necessarily the same. Especially the ones regenerating and/or reforming the waveform can change the sound in a way you may or may not like or which may be more or less "accurate" in relation to the recorded performance. It's a matter of personal preference.

Conditioners work in many ways. Most prominent are filtering, balancing with transformers and regenerating of ac or its waveform. So it is possible that a unit doing some of these can be improved upon with another doing another or one that filters differently (different frequency or mode of filter).

Some filters downgrade, others upgrade, i'm only interested in the seconds.

The Transparent and Gray ones work.
