Should Amps be plugged into a power conditioner?

I have found many with big transformers actually limit the dynamics 

Ansuz D3 totally different technologies using powered mini Tesla coils over 100 

and different type of sign  waves making a very substantial improvements 

add to this their digital Ethernet hub and some of their cables magical .

my brother currently has them and I have been part of demos vs some  much more expensive products and this range from Danish Audio Group is pretty special .

Borresen Xmodel Loudspeakers and The excellent AAvic integrated amps 

and Axxis entry level gear is very good and decent pricing. Well worth checking out.

I have a decidedly mid-fi bedroom system, NAD C700, Cullen Cable Gold Series power cable, into a Furman Powerstation 8 Digital Linear Power/Surge Protector, then into a hospital grade receptacle.  I can detect no difference between directly into the wall or through the “filtering” receptacle on the power conditioner/surge protector.  I simply can’t be without a surge protector because where I live we commonly have thunderstorms, don’t want to fry my equipment.  Reviews on it are good and so far there’s only been a couple of outages and no damage.  I’m sure a higher end, more revealing system may have different results, but FWIW this works for mine.

Interesting thread. I have a Shunyata Denali power conditioner and have had an Luxman L-507ux MK2 integrated amp plugged into it since purchase. I’ve had the same performance described by jsalemo277 above. Having never tried plugging the amp into the wall directly I have no idea if the less restricted dynamics ghdprentice described of might be obtained by doing so.

So I’ll try that out tomorrow and see.  The pre-amp portion of the integrated might be negatively impacted by decoupling it from the Denali, so I’ll try and notice if there is any noticeable issue there as well and report back.

My Pass Labs mono blocks are plugged directly into to separate wall sockets, which is the recommendation from Pass Labs. Other components with less current draw are plugged into an Isotek conditioner. 

I have used  power conditioner for around 17 years I thought it made a difference in the sound quality of my Denon 4308 and the picture quality of my plasmas, (oleds presently) . Denon still gives me phone support and always asks if I'm using a power conditioner and to unplug it and plug it straight into the wall, I have a lot of power surges here with every thunderstorm once the power goes out the unit stays off until I turn it back on. gives piece of middle in the middle of the night when the power is going in and out..
