power conditioning - source vs amps

I have never compared the two together, but in some respects it may also depend on how big a PS Audio Powerplant you use. If you have a small one and the amplifier gets power hungry, I could see where there would be limitations in performance.

There is no powerplant on the planet big enough to handle my big Krells. I would definitely put the conditioner on the source/preamp.

I would first see whether you need conditioning. For me it turned out that when I substituted an excellent power cord for the conditioner, the sound vastly improved.

I think it depends on the amps, but most of the amps I have had did
not like being plugged into an AC Conditioner. They love being plugged into properly grounded dedicated 20 amp circuits with Holspital Grade Outlets. I plug everything else into an AC Conditioner that is also plugged into a properly grounded dedicated 20 amp circuit. Works beautifully. I highly recommend dedicated circuits.

Thanks Rsbeck...Dedicated circuits are a must in any situation.

I have two 30 amp and two 20 amp circuits.
