Hartari, there is a wealth of info in the archives. What you will find is that boatloads of very experienced folks do it a number of different ways. What you might want to start with are those AC areas that must exist no matter what (except for battery powered components of course!):a. you are already installing dedicated circuits
b. the outlet itself (there are many, including Oyaide)
c. compatible power cords, interconnects and speaker cables
d. optimal cable positioning/dressing (given your rack's constraints)
e. RF and noise reducing tweaks (power wraps, 193L Choke Tweak, application of carbon fiber, ERS, etc.)You won't be able to hear the full benefit, if any, of a power conditioner until you take the above steps.
Then you can research power conditioners including balanced power and/or isolation transformers, etc. etc. You can also research whole house surge at the panel including the pros and cons of doing this.
As far as plugging in your components it often depends what type of equipment you have and what type of conditioner you buy. For instance, equi-tech, a leader in the balanced power field urges folks to plug all of their equipment into a balanced power conditioner. Other types of conditioners excel at a digital or analog. Some insist that power amps must be plugged directly into the outlets and only source components should plug into conditioners. Try to be thoughtful about steps A-E above first, and then experiment as much as possible. This will give you time to do your research as a power conditioner can be expensive.
