How important is a power regulator/power conditioner/EMI/RFI filter in a studio? Have anyone wrestled with power issues of it intruding into the mix?
Anyone here un-ground their equipments because that "grounding may allow dirty power"? I know that tone freak eric johnson does that, other from replacing screws and the woods used and the battery preference, have his amps and boxes lifted.

If you do have to run power where it will cross over an audio run, you should do so at 90 dgrees.

It's important. The entire power structure is important. Groun
It's important. The entire power structure is important. Ground loops are probably the most common problem and having everything routed through a power conditioner/regulator can help to minimize that sort of problem.
Regulators are a bit expensive, but tf you are running lots of expensive equipment a regulator would definitely be important for protection and proper operation purposes.
If your cable runs are short, you probably won't have any RF problems, but it can be a issue with long runs. It's also important to keep power and audio cabling separated to avoid interference.
