Can I run my Amp from a Line Conditioner?

Look into Balanced Power Technologies. You can plug your amp. into them.

I was checking to see what the capacity of the HTS 5000 is on the Monster website and I ran across this statement.

"Will the Monster Power Center restrict current to my power amplifiers?
No. On the models that contain High Current Filters, we have passed over 21,000 watts of power through to demonstrate its capabilities. For Monster Power Centers that do not have High Current Filters, the fillter becomes saturated for a few Milliseconds but does not impede current flow."

Im not sure if I should feel any better about running my
amp thru it? But i hate to leave my (pride and joy) amp unprotected...

Sean,

I totally agree with you... The thing that bothers me the most is all components are being fed by one cord like you said. Where i live there is not alot of lightning or outages (just earthquakes and high energy bills)so im atleast going to try a direct shot for the amp. The other
thing is a recently bought a new PC its an Eichmann PWR
express and they strongly recommend a direct shot into the
wall so i will try... plug and prey!

Thanks for advice...

I want to update you guys on results:

Right after my last post i decided to go direct into wall with my amplifier (dedicated line) Well right of the bat i heard some "tizz" or "hash" that i have never heard before. I have never heard my Bel Canto without the HTS5000 before (purchased same time). I also felt that i lost some detail... I have really been spoiled with my current setup and have become a detail junky. And it seemed that some of it dissapered. OH NO! WHERE'S THE DETAIL?

So I decided to run system for a few days before being overly critical. I do leave amp and pre on all the time.
And i also listen probably about 6 hours a day.
Over the last 24 hours i have listenend to every recording i have that i know well. The "tizz in mid" and "hash in HF" never went away... At times i felt the system had very slight more slam but that there has always been plenty of that.
But the thing that bothered me the most was all of a sudden
my system became fatiguing a thought that had never even
entered into my mind with this system.

Well i decided to plug back into HTS5000 a couple of hours
ago with the intention of giving system a few days to settle before passing judgment... I took me probably 5 seconds to hear that the "tizz" and "Hash" were gone again..
Ouw yeah there's the detail too. The overall sound is just
much better and smoother. Definelty blacker background.
Its unbalievable when i bought that thing i was just trying
to protect my gear "hopefully" without muckin things up.
I only paid 350.00 on Yahoo for the thing. Its like 600 list
or something like that.

Im not a big fan of Monster products but i guess they
knew what they were doing when they hired Richard Marsh
and that other guy to design the product (I think he's from Spectra). I dont know if i should be a Marsh fan now but i got my detail back and im happy :-)

So bottom line is in my system the conditioner did much
more good than bad.

Monroe2 please let us/me know what your results are... I
am very intrested to hear.
