Power Conditioner for Amps.


hello every one,
after searching from the posts here on audiogon,seem like most of the suggestions are plug the amp straight into the wall.the question is..how am i suppose to protect my amp from a power surge if it go directly into the outlet?what about the front end(pre,CD,TT)should i get a monster surge/power condition for it?please help.

You could look at a Chang Lightspeed Conditioner.

They are not supposed to be current limiting.
I am using a VansEvers Super Companion power strip for my amp and pre. Provides protection and some parallel conditioning and doesn't seem to limit my amp/pre. The conditioning the unit provides is subtle but I bought it more for the protection/non-limiting aspect of the unit.

I am thinking about buying some Blue Circle MKIII Noisehounds to go with it. These plug in to available outlets and also provide parallel conditioning. Some say they work well and others say differently.

For your front end, I would look at the Audio Magic Stealth Digital. I really liked it alot, cleaned up quite a bit of the grunge. I don't recall if it provides protection though, it did have a fuse on the back.

Good luck,
The PS Audio high current Ultimate Outlets are also supposed to offer a good solution for filtering some of the noise on an AC line. The Ultimate Outlets offer 40dB of bidirectional noise suppression, and they are said to not be current limiting.
I plug my amp, SS MF, into my PS 600. It definately produces a "darker" background that I like, and I do not detefct any loss of dynamics.
I have had satisfactory results with each mono block plugged into it's own PS Audio 600 running straight current without multiwave settings.
