Should I upgrade the cable of my Line Conditioner?

@audphile1 

I was just curious if it's necessary to use an upgraded power cord for the line conditioner.   Since the job of the line conditioner is to supposedly generate 'clean' power,  why bother using an expensive power cord to feed it 'dirty' power.   That is my thinking, and that is why I posted this discussion.

Just like many other topics in this forum,  there are different opinions around this topic, so I guess I would have to try it and find out myself.   I was hoping not to spend the money if I don't need to.

BTW.  I posted this question to Furman support, and never heard back.  Oh well.

Just got my new Ayon audio integrated amplifier last night after a 3 week trip to California from Europe.  Reading through the manual I noticed this warning:

"!!!  It is recommended that you do not use a power conditioner etc as it may be limit [sic] the current available to the amplifier."

I've posted my opinion on this many times and it is very similar to what the manual says.  So if you insist on using a power conditioner, make sure that it is oversized.   Because the current spikes that an amp needs to produce good base are not accounted for in the specification number that tells you the average power consumption.  I would want at least a factor of 3-5, preferably 10.  

So I would want a 10 ga power cord on my conditioner, a 10ga cord going to the amp to the conditioner, and similar wiring throughout the conditioner.  Hopefully the final stage is a large inductor that works as a power reserve for the amp.  But I don't have a conditioner.

How does a large inductor provide a reserve?
