I have an Isobar Ultra, and it's useless in my audio system. It works okay with my computer, television, and desk lamp, though.
It takes quite a bit of engineering to make a power conditioner that works well with fine audio equipment. I use a Power Wedge 114, and it does an excellent job, but robs the amp of some dynamic punch. So, I plug the amp directly into the wall via a PS Audio Ultimate Outlet, which keeps the dynamics, and filters some noise (certainly not all).
I would advise not wasting money on a hardware-store-variety power conditioner like McMaster's for audio use, unless your audio system was purchased at Radio Shack or Good Guys. You would probably just end up using it for your refrigerator or something.
