Hi Rage96,
To bring a note of sobriety to this thread (I, too, can get drunk on shiny things--the Belkin devices are very pretty!), I'd point out that all consumer electronic products (AV receivers, amplifiers, DVD players, TVs, etc) have their own power supplies that do all the necessary filtering and "conditioning" of AC from the wall outlet. In normal urban areas, no outboard devices are needed.
If you do live in the boonies where you get frequent power outages or surges from local lightning strikes, then there is a case to be made for using one, but otherwise, these devices are quite unnecessary, yet another profit center, like exotic speaker cables, for the big box stores and their suppliers to increase their profit.
Regards,
Alan
