Power Conditioner for your amplifier?

Lately, I've been toying with the idea of trying a power conditioner on my amplifier (ARC VT-100 MkII). I know there has been much written about going straight into the wall with your amp (which is what I am doing currently), but has anyone had any luck with plugging your amplifier into a conditioner? Specifically, I've been thinking of a non-limiting device, such as a PS Audio Ultimate Outlet or a UPC-200.
Has anyone had success using a power conditioner on your amplifier - yes / no? Any thoughts and suggestions will be greatly appreciated. In advance, thanks, and happy listening!

Those PS Audio items are very power limiting. Try an older MIT Z Stabilizer using an MIT Z Cord. No limiting whatsoever.

Alternative: have a good electrician come in and run a dedicated 200 amp service to your listening room with proper copper wiring.

How much does a dedicated line usually run?

I had two 100' run dedicated lines put in for $100 about 15 years ago.

Hi Bigpond,

Been a while since we've all posted here i see...in any event, my system gets one small step closer to your magnificent one with the purchase of a Burmester 948 to replace my older Nordost Thor/Transparent Audio Power Conditioner. Zanden digital/CJ GAT/Gryphon/Wilson X1s and now Burmester 948. Thanks for the inspiration!!
