power conditioning - source vs amps

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.

The two dedicated outlets, firstly, are the way to start. There is not a power cord out there, that can do for your electric what a great conditioner can. I'd start with your source, but you want your amp, as well to have it's own power conditiner. I use the Audio Magic Eclipse which requires two power cords. The best way to isolate your digital and analog. As much as I loved my Eclipse, the addition of (yesterday, in fact) two new power cords from Eclipse to amp and cdp--wow!--another level, altogether.

After installing dedicated AC lines, I ditched the power conditioners, but threw a PS Audio Ultimate Outlet on each line (with the 20A high current version for the amps), and a third one for the TV and VCR (on an existing, non-dedicated line), and I am very happy with the results. Interestingly, it was my 20+ year old (but high end, for the time) television that received the most noticeable benefit from the UO's.

Tom, you ditched the power conditioners? What were they? How come you're using, now, PS UO if you didn't require power conditiners after your dedicated outlet installation? What could they be doing better than a good pc? I'm confused. peace, warren
