Hi,
I have a passive conditioner that I plug my CPT 300 into and than I have been slowly replacing all other power cables to each piece of equipment with CPT cords. This has resulted in my system playing at a complete new level. I have also tried CPT cords directly to the duplex and it worked exactly the same. I would say if you do not need the conditioner after trying a CPT cord than get the conditioner out of the chain but if you feel the conditioner is a noticeable improvement, than keep it. I will probably be selling my passive conditioner.
The CPT cords do need a couple of hundred hours before critical listening and 50 hours minimum for them to open up but truth be told, the noise floor drops so dramatically that you can hear it right from the first minute you install the cord.
Cheers,
