I have always thought that running your amps direct to the wall gives you the best sound; however, I have a friend who is getting much better sound running them thru a power conditioner. Any thoughts?
Results will vary. Do you and your friend have dedicated lines? I have used PCs and like direct but there are too many variables to make blanket judgments.
I heard it from a fellow music hound that he put in new wall outlets big difference he claims also i don't use the ground also the cords could react differently with each piece(14 for low power verses 12g or 10g for hi current)were his speakers on spikes on the floor lots of tweaks for next to nothing Good luck
I have 2 dedicated lines(balanced) and run all components and 28s thru 2 Torus PIUs. One thing I'll mention is a Torus will give you way more amperage than the wall can give(15a or 20a) a Torus can give up to 400a,short term on dynamic peaks. They really give your amps the extra amperage when needed.
it's all variable -- the power quality from your wall, the type of conditioner, the type of power cords, the type of amp. My nuforce's sounded better out of the conditioner. My current tube amp goes straight into the wall. try and see is the answer.
