Some high end amplifiers and preamplifier have power conditioning built in, so who knows. I believe many conditioners do limit power, mostly the low priced ones. There are many fine ones that do not. One of the Vansevers conditioners is even called the "Unlimiter". Finally, surge protection and power conditioning are not the same thing.
Hubbell hospital grade outlets w/ surge protection
Alot of people have talked about the benefits of Hubbell hospital grade wall outlets. I have discovered that Hubbell makes a version of these hospital grade outlets (20 amp with isolated ground) with built in surge protection.
If power conditioners (w/surge protection) limit the dynamics and power of some amplifiers, would this Hubbell outlet be a good way to protect your amplifiers from power spikes, etc, without the downsides to a power conditioner - potentially at a reasonable cost? Many have suggested that their amps sound best when plugged directly into the wall outlet. The surge protection version is identical to the std. hospital grade-isolated ground outlet in evert way, it just adds a measure of surge protection. Could this give the best sound AND protection, for significantly less than $100?
