A good power conditionner with tube amps ?

The best conditioner is raw AC period. jallen

I took my power amp off my power strip yesterday as an experiment.

I did not hear any improvement or really even a clearly noticeable difference.

Interestingly, my Musical Fidelity A3CR continued playing without distortion a good 10 seconds or more after I unplugged it, which was pretty interesting.

Made me think that maybe some amps are designed to buffer power and decouple from the power supply as much as possible which might reduce the benefit of conditioning perhaps.

No conditioners for my amps.
Tried quite a fee....did not like it. No benefits - non. YMMV.

BTW,

Benefits of power conditioning with power amps may be debatable or even non-existent, but the benefits clearly exists with other low power level components IMHO.

Mrtennis, I've tried all the previous line of PS Audio products, Chang Lightspeed, BPT, all Shunyatas with exception of V Ray, Audience Adept, various Bybee, caps on AC outlets, may have forgotten a few.

I would say the Shunyata Hydra 4 impacted the dynamics the least. And yes, I found some conditioners colored in the way you described. The Hydra 8 was just the opposite, warm and somewhat soft focused, I suspect the FeSi.

The BPT is least colored PC I've heard in my system.

Barbapapa, I've heard good things about the Equi-tech, transformer based, same as BPT. I like the BPT products because of build quality and Plitron transformers, quite unique design in the 3.5 line. Still, in your price range the Son should be a good choice.

Mapman, yes, the better filtering power supply should benefit less from PC.
