Hello Husk01,
I have always subcribed to plugging amps directly into the wall. I currently have mono block SS amps that are each plugged into their own dedicated 12 gauge 20 amp circuits. I had been experiencing excellent results using this method.
Just recently I had the opportunity to experience the Silver Circle Pure Power One 5.0 line conditioner. This is a 100# beast of an active line conditioner. Well, I am here to tell you that the improvement made by using this product was nothing short of miraculous. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't heard it with my own ears and in my own system.
Bass impact was significantly improved, soundstaging was deeper and wider, attack and decay of intstrumentation was improved as well. Amazing detail came out of a black black background. Many times we associate detail with brightness but there is none of that with this product. Overall presentation is very pleasing to the ear and believe me, I am very sensitive to a harsh bright sound.
The end result by adding this particular line conditioner was a significant improvement in sonics to my system.
Just my two cents!
