I want to buy a new power strip to enhance and protect my system.
Router, DAC/headphone amplifier, PC + iPhone charging will be plugged in.

I heard that the fun starts with products like GigaWatt PF-1e + PowerSync 1.5 m. It costs about PLN 2,500. For me, unfortunately, a lot for today, also taking into account that my entire equipment does not cost PLN 50,000, only 5x less.

I found a Polish company that seems to be an ok price-quality solution. I need help as this is completely new to me. Here I would end up in PLN 1,000

Tomanek TAP5S + Tomanek Power Cable Gold - 230V 1,5m

Does it make sense?

Hi, what's the rest of your setup?

If your power is dirty, conditioning can help. But it likely won't be a night and day difference for your setup.

I use a Tripplight strip and with the e50/L30 ii on optical the noise floor is total silence with everything plugged into it. Just don't think a conditioner will help. I use those, because when the material protecting from a surge wears off in 5-6 years, the strip stops working. It's so you really know your stuff is protected or not.
