Clipping with Separates with change of Power Conditioner[?]


I have two Furman Power Conditioners. The one connected to my power amp went out recently. Nothing I can do allows it to work. I replaced with a W-Audio AC Power Filter Power Conditioner - Power Purifier with Surge Protector. I initially hooked up the items for the Furman to the Filtered Plugs on the W-Audio. In playing songs that get to higher volume, the items driven through the Power Amp would go dark while the subs continued to play the tunes.

My Power Amp is Class D [NAD c268 being run at stereo = 80 WPC].  My Pre-Amp is a Naim NAC 272.

Is my assumption correct that this is a power amp issue or compatibility issue between the Power Amp and the new W-Audio Power Filter Conditioner?

plug the amp into the wall and see if it works fine.  I bet it will. 

I repeatedly say, you can't filter power.  

And many power "conditioners" do more harm than good.  they limit current flow.

Thus I use a well designed regenerator.

Agree with Jerry here. I tried several power conditioners and prefer all my components connected to wall out. To add, I was never able to achieve good results with amps running off of a power conditioner. for light source components or ones with inadequately designed power supplies you can use power conditioner. But instead of spending your money on the conditioner invest in better components.

There will be serious design & parts compromises when power conditioning and surge protection are combined in one box - at a low price. Too good to be true. Return the W-Audio if you can. Buy a quality, pre-owned, non-current limiting, power conditioner made by a company that specializes in audio cabling - such as Audience, Transparent, Shunyata, Synergistic Research, et al.  

we have tested most of the major power conditioners

 

if you want a power conditioner  which can enhance and protect look at isotek

 

you will improve the sound of every component plugged into it the aquarius and sigma are going to produce very noticeable improvements
