A good power conditionner with tube amps ?

I'm on the way for a good conditionner or regenerator for my system. At that time I tried 2 : Isotek (but not the Titan witch is said dedicated for amps) and PS audio PPP.
Both of them work fine for front gear but they erased dynamics of my ATM 3 tube mono amps (115 watt).

Do you think equi=tech can do a better job and maybe can eradicate ou minus my hum trouble on analog ?

Tahnk you

I get good results with a $200 Monster Power strip I've used for several years. Its an inexpensive option to try that makes a clear difference that can be heard. I have finicky ears when it comes to clean sound and I haven;t convinced myself I need anything more at this point.

Try a PowerVar. Mine has worked wonderfully with Atma-sphere M60 monoblocks. It was a noticeable sonic change over the older model API I was using.

I'm very happy with an Exact Power ep15a, no dynamic squash, power is kept at a steady voltage and tubes no longer drift...great product.

I don't believe there's a power conditioner that won't diminish dynamics to some extent when used on amps. Not just my experience, read the threads, this has been gone over many times before. IMO, power conditioners are for everything BUT the amplifier.

I have to agree with Sns......IMO If you want to do something for your amps consider D-Lines, good wall outlets and power cords. Many find dealing with the ac part of the system can be most rewarding. Happy Listening!
