Isolation transformers can adversely affect bass performance by restricting current draw when the amp's demand is high. Note I said that they can adversely affect this, not that they will. It depends on the size of the transformer and other factors. It may help but it's a try before you buy proposition.
Power conditioners also filter out parasitic frequencies riding on the line but more so at frequencies much higher than the line's 50 Hz. They're great at filtering out the data signal in ethernet over power line setups if you plug one of the ethernet power devices into a power conditioner. It improves the sound and ensures you get no ethernet signal at all as I found out one day when I plugged the ethernet adapter into my power conditioner without thinking but the ethernet signal is somewhere up in the kHz/mHz range and nowhere near the line frequency.
Power regeneration does work but power regenerators like the PS Audio Power Plants and some Isotek devices are expensive, extremely more expensive than the isolation transformer in your link.
